Although the data released this morning was a mix of positive and negative the Pound has dropped by 0.40% against the Euro, 0.49% against the New Zealand Dollar, 0.36% against the Rand and 0.51% against the Swedish Kroner.
Sterling has also dropped against the Australian Dollar but this is mainly due to the Reserve Bank of Australia surprisingly raising interest rates by 0.25% to 3.25% overnight.
For those that aren't aware, an interest rate hike usually is seen as positive for the economy in question and a drop negative, as investors look to shift their funds into that currency for a better return.
The AUD and NZD may still strengthen off the back of this, as people may start to look at carry trading between Sterling and the currencies that are currently benefiting from higher interest rates.
