GBP/USD is showing little movement for a fifth straight day. Currently, the pair is trading at 1.3155, up 0.07% on the day.

All Eyes on British GDP, Mfg. Production

Investors are keeping a close eye on the monthly GDP report. The economy has contracted by 0.1% over the past two months, but analysts are expecting an improvement in September, with a forecast of +0.1%. The U.K. will also release Manufacturing Production, which has posted two consecutive declines. The estimate for September stands at 0.1%. Despite disappointing PMI releases for November, but the British pound gained 1.6% last week, in anticipation of a Conservative victory in the election on Thursday. However, a minority government or a Labour win would disappoint the markets and likely send the pound to lower ground.
