UK Manufacturing PMI In Focus<\/h2>\n

The Pound is edging cautiously higher as investors look ahead to the release of the final reading for manufacturing PMI. The manufacturing sector is expected to have performed better than the service sector amid lock down as those factories which manufacture essential goods remain open. However, analysts still expect a deep contraction to be confirmed in April. Analysts forecast manufacturing output slumped to 32.8 in April, whereby 50 separates expansion from contraction. A weaker reading could drag on the Pound.<\/p>\n

The reading will illustrate the devastating impact that the coronavirus lock down is having on the UK economy. The only way that the economy can start to recover is by reopening.<\/p>\n

The Pound perked up on Thursday after Boris Johnson announced that the UK was past the pandemic peak. He pledged to set out the UK\u2019s exit strategy next week. The prospect of strict lock down measures being eased lifted the Pound.<\/p>\n

Sweden\u2019s Coronavirus Death Toll Rises<\/h2>\n

The Swedish Krona is expected to have a quiet session owing to the Labour Day public holiday in Sweden. With no high impacting economic data due to be released, investors will continue to monitor Sweden\u2019s coronavirus statistics. Sweden\u2019s numbers are of particular interest because the Nordic country opted avoid implementing a strict lock down policy.<\/p>\n

Sweden recorded its second highest rise in infections on Thursday, up 790 to 21,093. The death toll reached 2462. This is significantly higher than its Nordic neighbours which recorded fatalities in the low hundreds.<\/p>\n

President Trump drew himself into the discussion over whether Sweden\u2019s approach will work by saying that \u201cSweden will pay heavily for not implanting lock down\u201d. Sweden\u2019s death rate per million was 7.43 on Thursday. This was ahead of the US which recorded 6.12.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
