The Pound Sterling (GBP) experiences a steep decline against its major counterparts on Friday following a report from the UK Office for National Statistics (ONS) revealing an unexpected contraction in Retail Sales for December. This data further highlights the fragile economic outlook. Retail Sales, a crucial indicator of consumer spending, fell by 0.3% month-on-month, contrasting with economists' forecasts of a stronger 0.4% increase, which was anticipated to exceed the 0.2% growth recorded in November.
