GBP/USD near session highs as UK sales data looms any minute
In just a minute or two the UK will release its August Retail Sales report. The markets are expecting a pretty much unchanged picture on sales last month. The consensus is for sales to have grown by 0.4% in August, compared to a 0.5% rise in July. The Pound will react to any significant surprise in this data, perhaps especially if it beats the forecasts. The GBP/USD is pretty close to session highs just ahead of this release, currently trading at 1.3297
