GBP Retail Sales YoY
I posted a “follow up” report of last months report, click here to see what happened.
This report is released by the U.K.s National Statistics on a monthly basis.
Here is what is going on tomorrow:
GBP Retail Sales MoM stats:
previous = 0.3%
forecast = -0.5%
The “forecast” for this report shows a possibility of a down turn of the GBP economy.
Here is how I am set up for this report:
GBP-2-30AM-02-19-10
Looking for a 1.0% difference
Actual > Forecast = Good for GBP
