  • GDP: actual -0.1% MoM; forecast 0.1% MoM; previous -0.3% MoM;

  • GDP: actual 0.7% YoY; forecast 0.7% YoY; previous 1.1% YoY;

  • Industrial Production: actual -0.3% YoY; forecast 0.1% YoY; previous 0.3% YoY;

 

Weaker data is causing a pullback in the British pound. May's GDP decline is mainly due to the industrial sector. The GBPUSD pair continues to fall and is testing local lows from a few sessions ago. At the same time, this area marks the lower boundary of the descending trend channel. A break below this support could trigger a move toward the next support level at 1.34.
