- UK GDP declined 0.1% MoM in May, a negative surprise.
- GBP/USD drops below 1.3550 after the UK economic data.
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
