FXStreet (Córdoba) – GBP/USD managed to move off daily lows but remains under pressure during the American afternoon with the pound weighed by weak results from preliminary UK GDP figures for the third quarter (2.3% YoY, 0.5% QoQ).
GBP/USD printed a 2-week low of 1.5282 before regaining the 1.53 mark during the last minutes. At time of writing, the pair is trading at 1.5301, still 0.33% below its opening price.
Investors’ focus now turns to Wednesday’s Federal Reserve decision on monetary policy. While expectations still favor a December rate hike, Fed’s wording will be closely watched.
