Fundamental view

The number of approved loans for house purchases in the country probably decreased to 41 000 in May from 42 173 in the preceding month. The British Bankers’ Association will release the official figure at 8:30 GMT.

The indicator is closely watched by traders and other market players as it can be seen as a gauge of the health of the British housing market. The indicator includes more than 50% of the total mortgage market in the UK.

In case, the number of approved mortgages falls less than expected, this would boost sterling’s demand.
