Pound traders are awaiting unemployment reading to publish around 8:30 GMT to gauge further in Pound, which has been benefiting from favorable outcome in last week's election and stronger than expected industrial and manufacturing production in March released yesterday.
- As of now unemployment rate in UK stands at 5.6% and median estimate say's another 0.1% improvement in today's reading.
- Major focus will be on earnings growth, which has been lagging despite staggering drop in unemployed. Average earnings excluding bonus grew by 1.8% in March and including bonus by 1.7%. Today market is expecting earnings growth of 2.1% excluding bonus and of same level including it.
Impact -
- Weaker data would somewhat derail pound, though dips buying is expected as main focus for today remains Bank of England (BOE) governor Mark Carney's speech around 9:30 GMT and BOE's release of quarterly inflation report about same time.
- Stronger data might push pound upwards and again prospect of heavy buying on breakout remains limited due to the release unless earnings surpasses expectation by 0.5%-1%, which seems unlikely.
Pound is currently trading at 1.568 against dollar.
