Consumer Confidence Weighs on U.K. Pound in Currency Trading

Sterling falters in forex trading
One of the big reasons that the sterling continues to falter in forex trading is due to consumer confidence. The British economy seems to be in a downward spiral, and consumer confidence only makes the problem worse. Two of the issues affecting consumer confidence in Britain include:
  1. Rising unemployment
  2. Tighter credit
Consumers are both unwilling and unable to spend, and that is forcing the British economy into recession. As a result, the U.K. pound is finding little in the way of support in currency trading.
