Dear Subscriber,

Please find below today's news flash which gives you an insight into the current market conditions, enabling you to keep informed and up to date on the latest currency movements.

GBPEUR/GBPUSD

The Pound has declined significantly this morning, as the market absorbs the news that the UK economy contracted in the first quarter by 0.2% in the preliminary figures released this morning. The -0.2% result has come as a major shock with the market anticipating modest growth of 0.1% following the recent good run of economic data on services and manufacturing.

The sharp decline in construction has contributed to the contraction and the UK economy is now officially in a technical recession following two consecutive quarters of negative growth. The kneejerk reaction to the data has seen the Pound weaken sharply against all of the 16 most actively traded currencies and Sterling may struggle to find support with investors likely to flee UK-denominated assets.
