UK Industrial Production comes out once per month at 4:30 am New York Time.
It measures whether industrial section in the UK did better or worse over previous month. Industrial sector includes factories, mines, and energy providers. If the number is negative, it means that industrial production contracted versus previous month. If the number is positive, it means that industrial production expanded versus previous month.
Industrial production in the UK constitutes approximately 25% of the entire GDP. When the numbers are higher, it means that the economy is doing better, when the numbers are lower, it means that the economy is doing worse.
When UK economy is doing better, it means that they are more likely to increase UK interest rate. When interest rate of a country is higher, it attracts investors to buy its currency, which increases the value of the currency versus other currencies.
So, when Industrial Production comes out better than expected, traders tend to speculatively buy Great British Pounds, so GBP/USD tends to go up. When industrial production comes out worse than expected, traders tend to speculatively sell Great British Pounds, so GBP/USD tends to go down.
