GBP/USD keeps lows ahead of data
FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The sterling remains in the area of daily lows vs. the dollar, with GBP/USD navigating around 1.5080.
GBP/USD focus on GDP figures

Market participants expect the economy to have expanded 0.5% inter-quarter during Q3 and 2.3% on an annualized basis, leaving no room for surprises from the preliminary readings.
