squawkboxJust a guess, but it looks like UK housing prices reported a big gain sometime during the past week.

I'm surprised the pound did not continue falling considering the US 10-yr rate soaring over the last week.

According to this (see link below), it was announced on Thursday the 31st, however the big move began on Wednesday the 30th http://www.dailyfx.com/calendar/index.html?week=2010/0103&dir=b&sort=da…|

Also, the forecast was 5.6% and I don't think the realized figure of 5.9% (30 bps higher than forecast) was high enough to justify such a big move.

Yeah, and particularly odd given Mr. Brown's words.

I would think it was likely due to 2 things: 1) Low volume, so bigger movements have a much larger impact 2) EOY re-positioning and taking care of loose ends on the books
