Market Focus

On Thursday, 01/03/2018, attention should be paid to the data on business activity in the manufacturing sector (PMI) of Great Britain. This index indicates prosperity in the industrial sector and production growth in the UK.

According to the forecast, in February the index will rise to the level of 56.7, against the January value of 55.3. If the forecast is confirmed, the British pound will receive some support, so the strengthening of the British currency within 30-40 points against its competitors is expected.
