The British pound has had a great week thanks to broad dollar weakness and strong economic data.

The UK retail sales report has raised a lot of questions as to how much longer the Bank of England can remain on hold. Earlier this week, Bank of England Governor King warned that inflation could hit 4 percent this year, which is 2 full percentage points higher than their inflation target. The only thing holding the BoE back from raising interest rates now is growth, but if growth is stabilizing, then a rate hike may be just around the corner. Unfortunately there isn’t a lot of data to help the British pound next week. The calendar is relatively light except for a few reports on house prices, the final GDP numbers for the first quarter and current account.
