GBP/USD firmer, approaches 1.5300

FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The sterling is now gathering further pace and keeps pushing GBP/USD higher, closer to the 1.5300 critical barrier.

GBP/USD reverts initial losses

The pair managed to come back from session lows in the 1.5220 area in early trade, bolstered by the now generalized softer tone in the greenback as market participants keep cashing up recent gains post-Payrolls.

Previously, rating agency Moody’s informed that the UK economy would continue the solid recovery in the upcoming years, although a negative point remains its high budget deficit.
