        <Name>Sterling Down on the Spot Forex Market</Name>
        <Summary>Pound struggling as economic data comes in</Summary>
        <Description>&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;The dream of the pound hitting $2 on the spot forex market is dead for now as economic data comes in and the sterling declines in spot forex trading. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601083&amp;sid=aqHM7q3trYh4&amp;refer=currency" target="_blank" title="spread bets, CFDs, spot forex trades, spot forex, spot forex market, economic data, $2 forex market" style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;Spread bets, CFDs and spot forex trades should consider shorting the pound for now&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;, and keeping an eye on economic data for further indications. Bloomberg reports:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" /&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div style="margin-left: 40px; font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt; The U.K. currency was also hurt by an industry survey
showing house prices gained at their slowest pace in seven months
in January. Futures trading indicates investors started reducing
bets on how high the Bank of England will lift interest rates
this year after the retail sales report.          &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
       &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; ``We're selling the pound,'' said Adam Myers, a currency
strategist at UBS AG in London, the world's second-largest
foreign exchange dealer. ``We've no chance of hitting $2.''&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;          &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</Description>
