GDP-
The Pound is softening again this morning following another unexciting release of GDP data, suggesting UK growth still remains very sluggish ahead of the November 26th budget. A 0.3% QoQ growth rate was coughed out, owing partially to a 0.1% uplift in private spending, an area which the budget is likely to see snuffed out soon.
Across the pond, the United states is getting ready to switch back on after the longest government shutdown in history likely ends today. After 43 days, the two parties seem to have been brought to the table, with a deal likely to pass the house today.
USD, which initially looked like weakening as news came out of the end, is now seemingly rallying off the back of the development. USD seems a little erratic at the moment, but a more clear conviction should emerge once we get more data.
