What to watch for today

GBP: Retail report. We expect UK retail sales to post another month of modest expansion, with our +0.2%mom forecast better than the -0.2% consensus. Coming on the heels of the better-than-expected jobs report yesterday, the data may help the GBP extend its gains versus the EUR. We remain bearish on EURGBP, though our 0.77 target relies on continued asset allocation away from the EUR rather than a bullish view on the UK economy.
