GBP/USD extends gains, nears 1.6100
FXStreet (Córdoba) - GBP/USD managed to break above its post-GDP high and climbed to fresh daily highs at the beginning of the New York session as the dollar recedes across the board.
GBP/USD picked up momentum and rallied to the upper 1.60s, although it faltered just ahead the 1.6100 psychological level. At time of writing, GBP/USD is trading at the 1.6080 zone, 0.32% above its opening price, having scored a high of 1.6098 so far.
Earlier on the day, data showed UK GDP grew at the slower pace of 0.7% in the third quarter and decelerated from 3.2% to 3.0% year-over-year.
