Sterling powered ahead against the US dollar yesterday while remaining broadly static against the euro. This morning’s data on consumer confidence and – more importantly – spending has boosted sterling further.

Gfk Consumer Confidence level improved slightly but is still firmly negative, while retail sales were revealed this morning to have surged in February, by 1.2% since the previous month.

Next week starts relatively quietly for data.
