Positive macroeconomic statistics from the UK | 18 سبتمبر 2020
18 سبتمبر 2020, GBP/USD
GBPUSD trading plan:
Retail sales volumes rose by 0.8% in August, the UK Office for National Statistics said. Compared with a year earlier, they were up 2.8%, just below forecasts of 3.0% annual growth. Sales had already overtaken pre-COVID levels in July and now stand 4.0% higher than before the crisis, although economists are cautious about what will happen later this year if unemployment rises sharply as forecast. Online and mail order sales were up 34.4% on the year in August, while most traditional retailers outside the grocery sector have suffered reduced footfall.
Trading recommendation: Buy 1.2970 and take profit 1.3025.
