UK PMIs for November
-
Manufacturing: 46.2 vs 45.7 expected (46.2 previously)
-
Services: 48.8 vs 48.1 expected (48.8 previously)
GBPUSD gained slightly in a knee-jerk move following the release but as the beat was not major and PMIs remained in contraction territory this gain was small. Moreover, the pair quickly turned lower after an initial uptick and is now pulling back from the 1.1900 area.
