UK on the brink of recession? | 24 Octubre 2023

GBPUSD trading plan:

British retail sales fell more than expected in September as shoppers avoided buying autumn clothing during unseasonably warm weather, against a backdrop of broader cost of living pressures that could see the economy shrink overall in the third quarter. Over the third quarter as a whole, sales volumes fell 0.8% - the biggest drop since the three months to the end of February, and one exacerbated by an unusually wet July which upset normal summer spending patterns. British households have faced a cost-of-living squeeze over the past two years due to supply-chain difficulties and labour shortages after the COVID-19 pandemic.
