Sterling higher on strong labor report
Lower than expected unemployment and upward surprises in weekly earnings and job creation provided some badly needed support for Sterling, which had been suffering after a string of weak economic reports from the UK. The move against the dollar was modest, however, as real wages are still shrinking. The Pound fared better against the Euro, which suffered from technical factors.
作为英国加息关键性因素的英国就业数据昨天发布，数据显示英国失业率不断降低，目前为4.5%。同时，英国平均收入有所上升也支撑了英镑的看多预期。后期需要关注的是第三季度的失业率变化，如果继续要转，那么年底到18年初加息的可能性会进一步上升。对英镑的中长期看多预期会继续维持。
