GBP/USD stronger ahead of UK data
The pound has managed to bounce off fresh multi-week lows near 1.4690 during overnight trade, quickly regaining the 1.4700 handle and advancing to the current area of daily highs around 1.4760.
GBP will remain under pressure in light of the upcoming manufacturing PMI in the UK economy for the month of December, seconded by November’s Consumer Credit, Mortgage Approvals and Net Lending to Individuals.
