Against the US dollar sterling has been drifting lower during the course of the week. Domestic economic news has been thin on the ground but yesterday saw the release of house price index figures which comfortably exceeded market estimates – showing 1% growth – which gave some strength to the pound. Today will see the Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) figures released which could provide the greatest cause for movement at the end of this week as investors hope for solid growth from the sector.
