News Summary:
After the UK service industry PMI rose to 53.8, the index was well above the 50 boom-bust line, which undoubtedly increased the possibility of better development for the British economy in the coming months and reduced the pressure on the Bank of England to cut interest rates significantly soon. If the PMI index continues to be good, it will eventually be reflected in the economic data, and the pound will benefit more.
