What is this event?
While this is q/q data, it’s reported in an annualized format (quarterly change x4). The ‘Previous’ listed is the ‘Actual’ from the Preliminary release and therefore the ‘History’ data will appear unconnected. There are 3 versions of GDP released a month apart – Advance, Preliminary, and Final. The Advance release is the earliest and thus tends to have the most impact.
Measures
Annualized change in the inflation-adjusted value of all goods and services produced by the economy.
Effect on Currency
‘Actual’ greater than ‘Forecast’ is good for currency.
Frequency of event
Released quarterly, about 85 days after the quarter ends.

What is this event?
Differs from Core CPI in that it only measures goods and services targeted towards and consumed by individuals. Prices are weighted according to total expenditure per item which gives important insights into consumer spending behavior.

Measures
Change in the price of goods and services purchased by consumers, excluding food and energy.

‘Actual’ greater than ‘Forecast’ is good for currency.
Frequency of event
Released monthly, about 30 days after the month ends.

Brexit continues to dominate the news and has been pushed back to October 31st. That’s right “halloween”, how ironic!
Traders and businesses are wary because of the uncertainty.
It is hard to say for certain but there are a number of possible scenarios, including:
Leaving the EU without a deal
Another EU referendum (this can only happen if the government brings forward legislation to hold one and a majority in the Commons supports it)
A general election – Labour’s preferred option but it would need a no-confidence vote in the PM to be passed
MPs could take control of the Brexit process from the government
Trading in the GBP and its crosses remains risky at best – Single random comments are creating large swings that can easily take out your stop losses.
BEWARE!
