UK Sept Nationwide HPI data now out 29 Sept

• -0.1% prev
• yy 2.0% vs 1.9% vs 2.1% exp

Small improvement belying current sentiment overall with a stalling market noted as per my convo with a local estate agent yesterday.

GBPUSD 1.3411 near session lows after the failure into 1.3450 yesterday, I hope the rally sellers out there took good advantage.

Says Nationwide:

• London housing the weakest in UK for first time since 2005 with house prices down -0.5% yy
• UK housing market can withstand modest impact of a small interest rate hike as long as economy does not weaken further

Cautionary words as per my note above.

Heads up that I'm just hearing on BBC Radio 4 they have BOE gov Carney on the Today programme at 07.10 GMT
