Sterling’s fortunes changed on Wednesday, with sterling gaining ground across the board despite their being no clear cause. On Thursday, sterling reached its highest point against the euro since January 2013 as the Bank of England held its current monetary policy steady.

Today, the key UK release is the manufacturing production figure, while this could be backed up later on by an independent GDP estimate to help sterling maintain its strength.
