Fundamentals:
Earlier data shows the amount Britons borrowed strongly rebounded in April, after a bout of weakness in March, in a signal that may strengthen the Bank of England's case for raising its key interest rate in the months to come. Figures released on Thursday showed the sharpest U.K. consumer-credit increase in almost 18 months, despite recent economic data releases signaling a torpid economic growth. The amount U.K. consumers borrowed in April jumped to GBP 1.8 billion after falling to GBP 400 million in March, which was the lowest rate in more than five years, the Bank of England said. The increase was driven by both credit-card spending and loan uptakes.
