it has been since July. Economists had expected the figure to ease
slightly to 8 percent.
German retail sales rebounded strongly in October, growing at
the fastest pace in nearly one-and-a-half years, as a strong labor
market and earnings growth supports spending despite a weaker

percent slump in September, preliminary data from the Federal
Statistical Office showed on Friday. Economists had expected a gain
of 1.4 percent.

inflation.

sterling Friday, but has since rebounded to around $1.2745.
UK house price inflation accelerated more-than-expected in
