We then had the release of UK second quarter GDP which gave sterling a cold shower dropping a full cent against the USD and slipping against most other currencies. The GDP number came in at -0.8 against a forecast of -0.3 This brings the year on year fall to -5.6% and is the biggest year on year fall since records commenced in 1955.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://currencymarketupdates.com/"><P>
