U.K. retail sales rebounded at a faster-than-expected pace in May driven by food store sales, adding to evidence of economic recovery gaining firm footing in the second quarter. Sales volume including automotive fuel grew 2.1 percent in May from a month ago, when it was down 1.1 percent, figures released by the Office for National Statistics showed Thursday. The downturn in Eurozone's private sector economy eased sharply in May, but the improvement is unlikely to provide sufficient lift to the region's economy to avoid a further contraction in the second quarter. The Swiss National Bank on Thursday said it will retain the currency ceiling at CHF 1.2 per euro as risks to the economy from external developments remains high. The target range for the three-month Libor was also left unchanged at 0.0-0.25 percent. The decision was in line with economists' forecast. "Tensions can reappear at any moment on global financial markets," the central bank said.
