Modest UK growth has improved short-term market confidence, while attention now shifts to upcoming US data that could influence year-end currency movements.

Latest market insights:

UK GDP figures published this morning showed an increase of 0.1% for the last quarter and 1.3% over the last year.
This has seen the pound increase in value vs both the euro and the US dollar.
The US will announce their latest GDP figures for the third quarter with the expectation of 2.1% for the year.

With Sterling finishing on a high, it shows some positive signs for the UK just in time for Christmas, while in the US, any deviation from the expectation could cause some last minute volatility before the festive break.
