After another tricky day for Sterling exchange rates, the pound has finished some 0.6% lower against the New zealand dollar than it was at the open this morning. GBP/NZD exchange rates have dropped following confirmation that UK unemployment figures have risen to 2.44miliion in August, and after Mervyn King talked down any posibilty of interest rate changes in the near future during his quarterly inflation report. The rest of the week is now empty of economic data for either the UK or New Zealand.
