Fundamental view

United Kingdom

The number of mortgage approvals in the United Kingdom probably increased to 62 600 in June, according to experts’ expectations, from 61 707 during the prior month. Mortgage approvals are considered as a leading indicator, reflecting the health of country’s housing market. In case the number of mortgage approvals increases more than anticipated, this implies housing sector strength and a positive impulse for the entire economy. Therefore, the national currency would also be supported. Bank of England will release the official numbers at 8:30 GMT.

Net lending secured on dwellings in the United Kingdom, which include bridging loans made by banks and other lenders, probably was at the amount of 1.90 billion GBP in June, according to the median forecast by experts. A month ago mortgage lending amounted to 1.99 billion GBP.

Consumer credit in the country probably expanded to 0.800 billion GBP in June from 0.740 billion GBP in May. It represents borrowing by the UK personal sector (individuals only) to fund current expenditures on goods and services, which are a driving force behind economic growth. In case lending to individuals expanded more than expected, this would have a bullish effect on the pound. Bank of England is to release the official data at 8:30 GMT.
