Pound Little Moved After UK Jobs Data as Traders Eye Inflation
Data
0659 GMT - Sterling is little moved after the latest U.K.
employment data as markets look ahead to Wednesday's key inflation
data, Silicon Valley Bank says. "The employment reading indicates a
robust jobs market and will provide the Bank of England further
reason to continue on its current trajectory for a higher interest
rate environment," Silicon's Sam Cooper writes. The U.K.
unemployment rate was little changed at 3.8% in the three months to
June while the number of people in employment increased 160,000
over the quarter and average earnings excluding bonuses rose 4.7%
following 4.4% growth in the previous quarter, according to the
Office for National Statistics. GBP/USD last trades at 1.2049 and
EUR/GBP is at 0.8431. (renae.dyer@wsj.com)
