The UK economy remained in contraction in May, with the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) declining 0.1%, following a 0.3% drop in April, the latest data published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed on Friday.

The market consensus was for a 0.1% growth in the reported period.

Meanwhile, the Index of services (May) arrived at 0.4% 3M/3M versus April’s 0.6%.

Other data from the UK showed that monthly Industrial and Manufacturing Production came in at -0.9% and -1%, respectively, in May. Both readings fell short of market expectations.

Market reaction to the UK data

The discouraging UK economic data weighed further on the Pound Sterling. At the press time, GBP/USD is trading 0.18% lower on the day near 1.3540.
