Fundamental view
Retail Sales in the UK probably fell by 0.4% in March, according to the median analysts estimates. In February retail sales rose by 1.7%.
The indicator measures the change in the volume of sales made by retailers in the UK. The information is derived from a monthly survey among major retailers. Higher volumes of retail sales mean greater consumer demand, higher production and economic growth. This is the percentage change in the index from the previous month.
On year-over-year basis, retail sales probably rose by 3.8% last month, following a 3.7% increase in February.
The Office for National Statistics is scheduled to release an official report at 8:30 GMT. Higher-than-expected readings will certainly heighten the appeal of the pound.
