Pound falls on Libya problems & weaker retail sales

28 July, 2011

CurrencyIndex

Sterling is falling across the board today, as a CBI report showed weaker growth in retail sales, and global fears over the Libyan crisis also hit confidence.

Tomorrow morning we have the first revision of the disastrous GDP figures from Q4 last year, and unless the 0.5% contraction is revised to something more positive, we could see further losses for the Pound.
