Fundamental Analysis
It is widely expected amongst investors that there will be no further increase in the asset purchase facility or rate cut, as the country has avoided its triple dip recession, according to the latest GDP numbers. Moreover, the all sector PMI increased to 52.1 from its previous reading of 51 which further strengthen this argument that the economy is accelerating its growth at a faster pace.

Finally, the Bank of England will announce its official bank rate and the forecast is to keep this rate unchanged at 0.50%.
