Pound jumps as UK factories roar back into life
Britain's manufacturing sector grew at the fastest pace in four years in April in a sign that UK industry is coping with EU referendum uncertainty and could soon emerge from recession.
The pound rose by as much as a cent against the dollar on Wednesday after official data showed factory output rose 2.3pc in April compared with March.
This represents the biggest increase since July 2012, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Economists expected the sector to contract by 0.1pc.

Eurozone countries mostly lent Greece the money, and mostly that was Germany. The UK is only exposed due to our contribution to the IMF bailout, and we'd do that whether we Brexit or not. That's €1.3bn.
If we Brexit we're not removed from the tulipe if the whole of the Eurozone goes down the plug hole. For one thing we'll likely be contributing to a huge IMF bailout, and as happened with Ireland, probably an additional bail out on top.

In the event of Remain, there's still a good chance of a monumental Euro crash will bring the whole thing down. Still, it'll be a lot worse then.

Ironic Greece hates the EU after we're doing so much to prop them up.
