Brazil's economic activity remained poor in 3Q

Brazil's economic activity remained poor in 3Q, with the industrial sector still a drag. Industrial activity in Sao Paulo, the country's largest and most-industrialized state , dropped 2.3% sequentially in 3Q, says state industrial federation FIESP. "The year will end worse for the industry than in 2015. Maybe the GDP does not fall as much as last year, but industry performance will be worse in 2016."

GMT Many corporate clients EUR/GBP

GMT Many corporate clients who export to the U.K. or those with production in the U.K. have so far chosen not to hedge their sterling exposure and are waiting instead to see if the pound turns higher, says an analyst at a Scandinavian bank. This is a risky strategy and could mean a scramble to hedge exposures once sterling breaks below key levels, such as below $1.20 in GBP/USD, the analyst says. "It is very risky because if sterling falls further they could fix at an even lower rate." GBP/USD trades at $1.2216, EUR/GBP at 0.9023

GBP/USD is unchanged in the Friday session, continuing the lack of activity seen on Thursday. Early in the North American session, the pair is trading at 1.2230. On the release front, the markets have plenty of US numbers to digest, as retail sales and inflation readings were strong. Retail Sales rebounded from a decline last month, posting a strong gain of 0.6%. and matching the forecast. Core Retail Sales improved to 0.3%, edging above the estimate of 0.2%. PPI climbed 0.3%, beating the estimate of 0.2%.  Later in the day, we’ll get a look at the UoM Consumer Sentiment report. The markets are expecting the indicator to climb to 92.1 points.
