GBP review

Sterling had a two-month high against dollar confiscated after a disappointing weak for Britain's economy sent a message to central bankers to leave those record low interest rates be. 

A surprise slowdown in U.K. manufacturing growth to a seven-month low dealt a fundamental setback to the pound. And the more than 2-point dip to 51.9 from 54 marked the biggest one-month decline in more than two years. 

Britain this week reported the slowest growth in two years in the first quarter. Britain's weaker economic performance of late has raised the already high stakes for the big vote for premier on May 7, moving political uncertainty to the fore.
