Reuters•yesterdayUK consumers return to shops after snowy start to 2018
British retail sales jumped last month by the most in one-and-a-half years, official figures showed on Thursday, suggesting the economy was recovering from a snowy start to the year. The Bank of England is waiting for signs of recovery before it raises interest rates again and sterling was up by half a percent on day against the U.S. dollar after the stronger-than-expected sales figures. Retail sales volumes rose by 1.6 percent from March, the Office for National Statistics said, well above the median forecast for a monthly 0.7 percent increase in a Reuters poll of economists.

European shares weighed by BT, utilities; Italy stocks slide
European shares pulled lower on Thursday, weighed down by losses in BT following a disappointing update and weakness among utilities stocks, while political jitters hit Italian stocks. The banking sector (.SX7P) was a bright spot, however, with gains in RBS (RBS.L) following a multi-billion dollar deal to settle a U.S. investigation of the bank's bond sales, and a solid update from Italy's biggest bank UniCredit (CRDI.MI) helping limit losses on the pan-European STOXX 600 (.STOXX), which ended just 0.1 percent lower. RBS rallied 3.8 percent after it agreed to pay a smaller-than-expected $4.9 billion to resolve a U.S. investigation into its sale of mortgage-backed securities.

Reuters•15 days agoFTSE sails on sterling slide after BoE
The UK's top share index hit a fresh 3-1/2 month high on Thursday after a decision by the Bank of England to keep rates on hold pushed sterling lower, while shares in Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS.L) surged after it settled a probe in the United States. The FTSE index closed 0.5 percent higher at 7,700.97 points, outperforming a slightly negative European market. Sterling dropped after the Bank of England held interest rates steady as expected, but trimmed some losses after Governor Mark Carney told the BBC that he expected a rate rise over the course of the next year if there are no shocks to the economy.

Britain's FTSE edges up before BoE meets, RBS gains
The UK's top share index hovered around its highest level since end January ahead of a Bank of England meeting which is expected to keep rates on hold, while shares in Royal Bank of Scotland surged after it settled a probe in the United States. By 0823 GMT, the FTSE index rose 0.11 percent at 7,671 points, with gains limited by a heavy drop in BT shares after the phone company reported a disappointing update and announced plans to cut thousands of jobs. Bank of England interest rates looks set to stay on hold on Thursday, after unexpectedly weak economic data and cautious remarks from Governor Mark Carney dashed the chances of what until a few weeks ago looked like a near-certain increase.
