GBP/USD Rally Continues as Weaker US Data Eases Dollar Demand
The Pound to US Dollar exchange rate has strengthened as softer US economic data and improving market sentiment reduced demand for the US Dollar.
At the time of writing, GBP/USD was trading around $1.3479, up approximately 0.2% on the day.
This comes after a disappointing batch of US economic data, including a weaker-than-expected ADP employment report showing private-sector payrolls increased by just 44,000 in July.
The latest data has reinforced expectations that Friday's non-farm payrolls report could also disappoint, which could extend the GBP/USD rally.
