Improving economic data is putting pressure on the Bank of England
UK factories increased production in July, up 0.2% from the previous month, according the Office for National Statistics.

On Wednesday, a report showed that activity in the service sector hit a six-year high.
Many economists now think the Bank of England will have to start scaling back efforts to boost the economy.
