## High-Importance Economic Events

On September 5, 2025, several key economic indicators were released, primarily impacting the GBP and EUR currencies.

For the UK, Core Retail Sales (YoY) and (MoM) figures exceeded expectations, coming in at 1.3% and 0.5%, respectively, against forecasts of 1.2% and 0.4%. Additionally, the Halifax House Price Index (YoY) and (MoM) also surpassed forecasts, at 2.2% and 0.3%. However, Retail Sales (YoY) fell short of expectations, registering at 1.1% versus a forecast of 1.3%. The overall mixed performance in UK retail data may lead to volatility in GBP trading.

In the Eurozone, German Factory Orders reported a significant decline of -2.9%, starkly contrasting the forecast of 0.5%, which could exert downward pressure on the EUR. Conversely, Eurozone GDP growth for Q2 was slightly better than expected at 1.5%, compared to a forecast of 1.4%, which may provide some support for the currency.
