Pound slips to start off the week - Australia surprise and hold interest rates - exchange rate news gbp aud eur usd sek zar cad chf

The Pound had a pretty poor start to the week slipping against a basket of major currencies in Monday's trading.

Mortgage approvals came out a lot lower than expected opening up a possibility that the housing market may not be recovering at the pace first thought.

Also, Bank's preferred money supply fell at it's fastest monthly pace sine records began in 1982.

The bank of England hold their interest rate decision on Thursday at 12:00 and many eyes will be on whether or not there will be any further quantitative easing - I find it doubtful.

The reserve Bank Of Australia held interest rates last night although they were expected to raise to 4% - this has led to the Pound gaining considerable ground against the Australian Dollar so far this morning.
