What's on this page

GBPUSD price, news and analysis:

  • The GBPUSD price continues to shrug off the growing risk of a no-deal Brexit, implying some underlying strength in the Pound.
  • Moreover, UK inflation data showing CPI rising at the slowest rate for 20 months year/year in November has also failed to dent sentiment.

GBPUSD price advances

The GBPUSD price is continuing to edge ahead even as the UK government urges the country to prepare for a no-deal Brexit 100 days from now and businesses trigger contingency plans just in case.
