“Having been battered in the wake of last week’s sterling super surge, the FTSE is using a quiet Monday morning to claw back some of its losses,” said analyst Connor Campbell of Spreadex.

“The upcoming week isn’t the most exciting, especially when compared to last week’s data banquet. Nevertheless it does feature the kind of Wednesday that could really test cable’s current levels, with a UK retail sales reading in the morning followed by the evening’s September Fed meeting, where Janet Yellen and co are set to announce the reduction of its hefty balance sheet.”
