Retail sales went up 0.5% in  October, which is about the same as its previous figure. This could be  good in the long run considering jobless claims fell 3.7K for last  month. Public sector borrowing increased to 9.8B last month, which is a  record high for October. Though this signals a mixed reaction to  traders, one positive thing going for the Pound is the growth of CBI  industrial order balance which rose to -15 from last month&#8217;s -28. This  could signal a growth in British economy as there is demand for their  export.<\/p>\n<p>For the upcoming European session, BOE Deputy Governor Paul Tucker is  set to deliver a speech at the European Banking Congress in Frankfurt,  where he may discuss the possible involvement of Britain in helping the  EU&#8217;s proposed bailout plan for troubled Ireland. There would be no other  economic data scheduled for release which could mean the Pound will  trade on the market&#8217;s appetite for the US Dollar.<\/p>\n<p>Core Driver of the EU&#8217;s Industry<\/p>\n<p>During the previous session, the Euro was influenced to move along the  consolidation pattern between the resistance level at 114.12 and support  level at 113.34.
