FXStreet (Mumbai) – The GBP/USD pair extended the slide to hit a session low of 1.5834 as the US dollar continues to receive safe haven bids amid Greek issue.

Back below weekly 200-MA

The spot now trades well below its weekly 200-MA located at 1.5877 levels. The US dollar began its recovery in the North American session yesterday after Eurogroup talks failed to reach a deal with Greece.
