The Bank of England’s outlook tomorrow will be crucial for investors. Yesterday’s Consumer Price Index from the U.K was higher than its estimate.

U.K Political Dynamics and Developments

Another critical piece of the puzzle for the Pound is Brexit politics, which continue to create dynamic and sometimes troubling developments. Infighting within the Theresa May led coalition has been a consistent problem for months.
