Fundamental view
Activity in United Kingdom’s sector of services probably declined in May, with the corresponding PMI coming in at 58.2, down from 58.7 in April, the highest since November 2013.
The index is based on a survey, encompassing managers of companies, that operate in sectors such as transportation, communications, IT, financial intermediation, tourism. They are asked about their estimate regarding current business conditions (new orders, output, employment, demand in the future). Values above the key level of 50.0 signify that activity in the sector has expanded.
Higher than projected readings would certainly heighten the appeal of the pound. The Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply (CIPS) is to announce the official reading at 8:30 GMT.
