Comment:
The British pound found support after UK labor data (see economic calendar below) showed signs of resilience in the face of a tight monetary policy environment. Unemployment missed estimates while average earnings including bonuses beat forecasts; possibly contributing to upside inflation concerns. Headline employment change supplemented a tight labor market narrative by moving back into positive territory for the first time since April this year.
