U.K. service sector output advanced at a weaker-than expected rate in September, as economy posted the first net decline in employment in last ten months, Markit Economics said on Wednesday. The seasonalized Services Purchasing Managers Index dropped 1.5 points to 52.2, compared to 53.7 in August. Analysts had forecast a reading of 53.1.

Following the data, the Pound tumbled versus the U.S. Dollar, with GBP/USD loosing 0.19% to 1.6103.
