Yesterday saw the release of the UK's borrowing position.
The figure was over £2 billion more than expected.

In a continuance of topsy turvy reports, the UK retail sales number came in much better than expected this morning.
Analysts had predicted monthly growth of just 0.2%, and the actual figure was 1.2%.
There doesn't appear to be a clear direction the UK is going in at the moment.
As we go into the bank holiday weekend, the main scheduled news has been reported and priced into the currency markets.
