POUND STILL BEARISH BELOW 1.3168 LEVEL
The British pound has moved higher against the U.S dollar, hitting 1.3168, following better than expected UK economic data and a broad-based U.S dollar weakness. UK Industrial and Manufacturing production figures beat expectation, causing the pound to rise towards key resistance during the European trading session. The GBPUSD currently trades around the 1.3150 level, as U.S dollar weakness continues to support the pair above the 1.3130 level.
