The GDP data shows that for the three months since June the pace of recovery has been low. As a result of this the investors prefer to shun the dollar for some other profitable currencies. These preferred currencies are high yielding ones; hence, are most advantageous in nature. The GDP data show that UK currency has reached a much higher position than the US currency in the past 6 months. Thus the pound is in a much happier position than that of the USD. The gains made by pound is phenomenal and something that had not been seen in the past few years. It has been declared by the government-owned lender Northern Rock Asset Management Plc that it has been the first profit that it has made since its nationalization in September 2007. This proves that there has been a boost in its confidence level which again has its good sides. This would make the trend followers believe that Sterling would be a great buy. What makes this belief all the more justifiable is that the Pound has been able to remain in the similar unchanged at 1.2044 against the Euro, which is truly commendable. But this great advance has received a slight at back after the UK construction growth has slipped a bit in July. This data is also based on a report that comes from the manufacturing output in UK which again shows that it has slackened in pace. Since five months this pace has largely been maintained as the UK economy has reached a second quarter.
Dollar has reached a subdued position specially, in front of the 16 most actively traded currencies and this includes the Euro. Thus the GDP data shows that the USD has been undermined on a number of situation and against in a number of currencies.
