The U.K. Office for National Statistics (ONS) released trade data for the U.K. on Friday. The U.K. trade deficit in goods widened to £9.2 billion in June from £8.4 billion in May. May's figure was revised up from a deficit of £8.00 billion.

The rise in the trade deficit was driven by a weaker demand in the Eurozone and a stronger pound.

The total trade deficit, including services, widened to £1.60 billion in June from £0.89 billion in May. May's figure was revised up from a deficit of £0.39 billion.
