GBP/USD

N.Y. Close 1.5630 Yesterdays High 1.5669 Low 1.5556

The pound fought back from a two-month low against the euro on Tuesday and held on to a half-cent gain on the dollar as the greenback slugged it out to maintain parity with the single currency.
Sterling was a third of a percent up at $1.5628 ,having earlier attempted a test of last Friday's three-week high of $1.5675. Sterling's gain on the dollar was mainly due to the U.S. unit's bellyflop across the board but upbeat British retail sales and service sector data underpinned the pound's performance.
British manufacturing output fell by 0.4 percent in September, leaving output down 2.6 percent down on a year earlier. The bleak outlook for manufacturers contrasted with an upbeat CIPS/Reuters purchasing managers survey for services, which held up better than expected in October. The report said the highest growth of new business for five months pushed the overall index up to 55.6 last month compared with 55.5 in September, better than forecast, while the Confederation of British Industry said retail sales bounced back strongly last month after appearing to stagnate over the summer.

The data highlights the dilemma faced by the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee which starts its two-day rate-setting meeting on Wednesday and announces its decision a day after an expected easing by the U.S. Federal Reserve. While the market is split down the middle over whether the MPC will trim rates by 25 basis points from 4.0 percent, a 38-year low, currently, the lean is towards a quarter point cut.
