Gfk released its consumer confidence index for the U.K. on late Wednesday evening. GfK's U.K. consumer confidence index remained unchanged at 0 in March, beating expectations for a decline to -1.

1 of 5 measures increased, 2 declined and 2 remained unchanged.

"Whilst UK consumers remain resolutely upbeat about their personal financial situation, even showing a +1 point increase this month when asked about expectations for the year ahead, concerns about prospects for the general economic situation continue to dampen our mood," Joe Staton, Head of Market Dynamics at GfK, said.
