- In recent times, however the growth has somewhat slowed, mainly due to lackluster global growth and subdued domestic demand that saw a push back in rate hike expectations.
- In December growth fell to 0.5% YoY and declined on a monthly basis by -0.2%.
- Manufacturing production in December grew by 2.4% YoY and 0.1% mom.
Expectations today -

- Manufacturing production is expected to grow at 2.6% YoY and 0.2% mom.
Impact -

- Better data - Might go up to test the resolve of dollar bulls. Major impact might be on other pound based pairs, namely EUR/GBP, GBP/JPY.
