UK jobs data on 15 September, then the Bank of England: your plans for sterling

UK labour market figures come out on Tuesday 15 September, two days before the Bank of England's decision on Thursday 17 September. In July, three of the nine Monetary Policy Committee members voted to raise Bank Rate to 4%.

The previous labour market release put unemployment at 4.9% for April to June, with regular pay growth of 3.5%, and UK GDP grew 0.4% in July.

  • Does the jobs data change what you expect from the vote?
  • Which pair do you use for sterling news: GBP/USD, EUR/GBP or something else?
  • How do you handle two high-impact UK events in one week?
