Concerns about Britain's exit from the European Union and the likelihood of Britain's investment plunge are the reasons for the decline of British Services PMI. The UK Services PMI index for the month of August sank to 53.2, lower than the forecast at 53.5. However, that level is still far from contraction.

 

Chris Williamson, Chief Economist Markit said, "Although in the last two months the data showed an expansion of economic growth of 0.3 percent in the third quarter, momentum is still in decline". The pound has slumped about 14 percent against US dollar since a referendum on UK exit from the European Union, and about 17 percent versus Euro.

The reason, the country chairman of Prime Minister Theresa May it requires preparation to face the challenge after the official leave the European Union.

September inflation jumped to its highest level in five years. Official data reported on Tuesday this afternoon is expected to strengthen the reason for the Bank of England (BoE) to raise interest rates next month.

 

The ONS Bureau of Statistics reported that the UK Consumer Price Index (CPI) - a key parameter of inflation gauge - reached 3 percent in September (YoY), up from 2.9 percent in the previous month. The number achieved again the first time since April 2012, as well as in accordance with expectations.

 

The rise in inflation - caused largely by the declining Pound exchange rate since the announcement of the Brexit referendum result in 2016 - has sparked revenues this year. UK economic growth slows as employee salaries fail to accelerate as cost of living increases.

 

The majority of Reuters economists predict that the BoE will take action at its November meeting ahead, because if the monetary policy changes are made this month, then it is feared would be a wrong decision.

 

Following the UK inflation report, GBP / USD rose in moderate volume and traded around 1.3257 although the candle needle pierced level 1.3287 shortly after the report was released. EUR / GBP decreased about 0.33 percent to 0.8872.

UK Retail Sales for September was unexpectedly slowing over the previous month. This is allegedly a result of the high rise in UK inflation that strangled the purchasing power of consumers

 

On Thursday this afternoon, the ONS reported that Retail Sales in the UK only rose about 1.2% in September, from the same month in 2016 (YoY). Very far back compared with last August, ie from 2.3 percent. Though expectations will stagnate at the same level of growth as August.

 

In the MoM base, UK Retail Sales slumped by as much as 0.8 percent. Sales of goods in the department store suffered the most severe pressure, followed by food sales. Viewed overall in the third quarter (QoQ), Retail Sales increased 1.5 percent from the same period in 2016.

 

Following the report, the pound stumbled to a daily low, with GBP / USD trading at 1.3157 this afternoon, down 0.42 percent from the previous figure. While EUR / GBP rose as much as 0.53 percent to 0.8973 from 0.8940.

 

The rise in UK inflation was more due to the weakening of Pound post Brexit last year. Unfortunately, the rise in inflation is not accompanied by an increase in salaries, so that people experience a decline in purchasing power and lead to weakening Retail Sales.

Facing a crisis related to the proposals of the Brexit Act and the ongoing cabinet work facing challenges in Parliament, Prime Minister Theresa May is rumored to be conducting a massive reshuffle in Britain's top politicians this week. In this reshuffle, not only the presumed Conservative Party leader will be replaced.

Prime Minister May's cabinet has faced some turmoil in the past two months. In November 2017, he was threatened by a no-confidence vote proposed by a number of members of Parliament; and the chaos that was triggered by representatives of the people who came from members of his own party, the Conservative Party, but against Brexit.

For now, it is not yet known how reshuffle efforts will affect the Brexit-related negotiations. After the news breaks out, the GBPUSD currency pair is still in the range around 1.3545, while EUR/GBP remains up and down but still above 0.8850. Most likely, these rumors will affect Poundsterling in the New York session as well.
