Pound slips after the UK business shows a sign of vulnerability.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Pound Sterling which traded against the dollar index, edged lower after the business momentum slowed in June showing a sign of vulnerability despite the business facing lower inflation.\u00a0 UK\u2019s Service sector fell to 53.7 from 55.2, in line with market expectations, while the UK composite PMI also dropped to 52.8 from 54.0, in line with economist’s forecast. UK business momentum growth was reduced to a three-month low after the S&P Global survey showed a slower pace of business growth. According to S&P Global surveys, servicer providers experienced deceleration in overall input price but the cost pressure remains the most sustainable since the first survey began in July 1996. Salary payment continued to surge at the highest, offset by a decline in energy prices. Despite the inflation in the UK being eased, the Bank of England’s (BoE) unexpectedly rising interest rates from 4.50% to 5.00% weighed on consumer demand. Some economists expected that BoE rate rises will push the UK economy into recession later this year after quarter one GDP only grew by 0.1%. As of writing, the GBPUSD slipped by -0.02% to 1.2701.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the commodities market, crude oil prices rose by 0.07% to $71.84 per barrel as the US crude oil stockpiles fell to -4.382M, lower than the market\u2019s estimation. On the other hand, the price of gold edged up 0.17% to 1918.41 as the price of gold fell in the previous session after the Fed gave the hawkish meeting minutes.<\/p>\n
