The consumer confidence in the UK unexpectedly improved this month, supporting the Great Britain pound and possibly allowing it to post the weekly gain after the previous streak of the losses.
GfK NOP Consumer Confidence Barometer rose from -20 to -19 in October. The analysts expected the decline to -22. The analysts are unsure whether the confidence would remain firm after the government would announce its plans for the budget cuts.
GBP/USD rose from 1.5940 to 1.5973 as of 14:01 GMT today after it dropped previously to 1.5876.
