Great Britain Pound Higher Today on Consumer Confidence

On Consumer Confidence the Great Britain pound was higher today versus the US dollar and the Japanese yen after a report showed that consumer confidence in the UK improved, while speculation that Greece made progress in the debt-swap discussion reduced demand for safer currencies. The GfK Consumer Confidence rose from -33 to -29.


Nick Moon, Managing Director of GfK NOP Social Research, commented: The four point improvement in the Index this month is surprising in light of the fall in GDP and possible slide back into recession. However, despite this, a few rays of light have started to reach long-suffering consumers, including falling inflation and the recent reduction in energy prices.
