It was a steadier yesterday's session for Sterling, in which pound after initial uptrend fell to 1.56 handle by the end of the day. Concerns hovering over Eurozone economy also have impact on UK monetary policy so if it is to believe to the latest Governor Carney statements we cannot expect any rate hike before the second part of 2015. Initial part of the year will probably be marked by inflation risks, since CPI increased by only 1.0% last month. Industrial Production and GDP are still indicating stability, but BoE announced that we can expect downtrend in fourth quarter, what also makes traders cautious to British pound at the moment.

In the US session Existing Home Sales figures were released. Existing Home Sales fell 6.1% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.93 million in November from a downwardly-revised 5.25 million in October. Analysts were anticipating rate of 5.21 million. Sales dropped to their lowest annual pace since May (4.91 million) but are above year-over-year levels (up 2.1% from last November) for the second straight month.
