Fundamental view

Annualized industrial output in the United Kingdom probably expanded 3.2% in May, following another 3% increase during the preceding month. In monthly terms, industrial production probably increased 0.3% in May, after adding 0.4% in the previous month. The index presents the change in the total inflation-adjusted value of production in sectors such as manufacturing, mining and energetics.

UK’s annualized manufacturing production, a short-term indicator which accounts for almost 80% of nation’s industrial output, probably expanded 5.6% in May. In April manufacturing output rose at an annualized pace of 4.4%. In monthly terms, production probably increased 0.4% during last month. As it is a key component of country’s Gross Domestic Product, in case manufacturing production expanded more than projected, this would have a bullish effect on the sterling.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) will release the official figures at 8:30 GMT.
