As the source gives it

What a surprise usually does

Above the forecast: A strong beat or upward revision can support sterling as markets reassess growth and the likely BoE rate path. The move is usually moderate unless the revision changes the overall picture.

Below the forecast: A miss or downward revision can weaken sterling if it raises concern about stagnation and makes rate cuts seem more likely.

In line with the forecast: Sterling usually moves little when the final GDP figure confirms earlier estimates.
