At 08:00 (GMT+2), the UK will publish its June house price index from one of the country's largest mortgage lenders, Halifax Bank plc. The index is calculated using a sample of mortgage data covering approximately 15.0 thousand monthly residential property purchases, providing insight into the strength of the market and the economy as a whole. If it falls from –0.4% on a monthly basis and from 2.5% on an annual basis, this will put pressure on the pound.
