Abstract:The British pound continues to fall versus the US dollar. The current exchange rate is 1.2260.
Today's numbers from the United Kingdom were confusing.
In October, the unemployment rate rose to 3.7% from 3.6%. Because of seasonal and other processes in the job sector, the shift was expected. Unemployment claims jumped by 30.5 thousand in November, which came as a surprise. The index was predicted to rise by just 3.5 thousand points after falling by 6.4 thousand points before.
The country's average pay increased by 6.1% from August to October, as projected.
The British labor market is effectively paralyzed. Companies continue to function and need people, but they cannot afford to pay them more due to rising inflation and expenditures. With such bad data, the pound would have fallen, but it is being supported by the USD's decline.
This is not the end of the figures for today. The minutes of the last Bank of England meeting will be released at noon, and the market will look for signals on the regulator's prior moves. The next meeting is scheduled for Thursday.
