GBP/USD consolidates at daily lows
FXStreet (Córdoba) - GBP/USD came under mild pressure and pulled back from a 12-day high following disappointing UK public sector data.
GBP/USD reached its highest level in nearly 2 weeks at 1.6185, but failed to hold gains and eased to the 1.6140 zone before finding support. At time of writing, Cable is trading at the 1.6150 area, a few pips below its opening price.
The US calendar is pretty light for the day, with only second-tier September’s existing home sales and the Redbook index on the docket.
