The Great Britain strengthened a little yesterday as the retail sales rose last month, but the currency hasn't been able to retain its upward momentum and currently moves without a clear direction.
The volume of the UK retail sales increased 0.6 percent in October from September, following the 0.5 percent increase in the preceding month. That’s much better than market expectations of a 0.2 percent drop. The value of the sales rose 0.7 percent. The report noted that small stores performed better than larger ones.
