GBP/USD - ..... Reuters just reported U.K. annual house price growth picked up in September, rising to 3.8% from 3.2% in August, mortgage lender Nationwide said on Wednesday, adding to signs that the housing market is heating up again.

House prices rose 0.5% month-on-month in September, slightly more than expected in a Reuters poll and up from 0.4% in August.

A piece of downbeat news on U.K. earlier today. Reuters reported British consumer morale fell more than expected in September as people worried about China's economic slowdown and Europe's migration crisis, a survey showed on Wed.

Market research firm GfK's monthly consumer confidence index slipped to +3 from +7 in Aug, which had matched June's figure as the highest since Jan 2000. Economists polled by Reuters had expected a reading of +6.

"Both the Chinese economic downturn and its negative impact on global markets and the ongoing migrant crisis, combined with other economic woes across the euro zone, has hit home," Joe Staton, head of market dynamics at GfK said.

Perceptions of Britain's economy over the last year and for the year ahead both entered negative territory, which Staton blamed on a "depressed back-to-school mood" among consumers despite low inflation and rising wages.

The dip in consumer confidence comes after signs that overall economic growth in Britain lost some of its pace in the 3rd quarter.

But a survey by the Confederation of British Industry published on Tuesday showed that British retail sales had beaten expectations this month by a comfortable margin.

Despite the greenback's selloff to 119.25 today, subsequent rebound suggests further choppy trading above September's low at 118.60 would continue with mild upside bias and gain towards 120.66 is likely to be seen, break would extend towards 120.99, however, last Friday's high at 121.24 should remain intact and yield retreat later.

On the downside, only below 119.25 would revive bearishness for weakness to 119.06, below would indicate near term decline from 121.35 has resumed and extend to 118.86 but aforesaid September's low should remain intact.

GBP/USD - ....... Cable jumped to fresh session high of 1.5174 in European morning as data showed growth in Britain's construction sector hit its fastest pace in six months in September.

Reuters news reported, The CIPS/Markit construction Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) rose to 59.9 in September, its strongest level since February, up from 57.3 in August.

That was well above the median forecast of 57.5 in a Reuters poll but below levels of more than 60 reached regularly in 2014.

Staffing levels in construction rose strongly in September although new business growth eased further from a peak touched in June and was its second slowest since mid-2013, Markit said.

Expansion of residential building was the strongest for 12 months as some projects that were delayed earlier this year were launched. Commercial development also picked up speed as companies invested more in their operations.
