Monday’s barish sentiment translated to the United Kingdom, with the FTSE 100 closing lower as house prices fell for the first time this year.

According to figures from real estate giant Rightmove, house prices in Britain dropped by 0.3% from July to August, which was the first slip up in 2021.

This comes as the United Kingdom once again saw COVID-19 cases rise last month to their highest level since February, as a result of the highly contagious delta variant.

Many believe that we may see the impact of this more this week, as the UK gets set to release further economic data.

These will include employment change on Tuesday, inflation on Wednesday, and retail sales Friday.

GBPUSD fell to an intraday low of 1.3828 on the news.
