GBP/USD Exchange Rate Steady as US Retail Sales Beat Forecasts
The Pound US Dollar (GBP/USD) exchange rate held steady this morning after the ‘Greenback’ was undermined by a dovish Federal Reserve. The Fed’s Chairman Jerome Powell suggested that it was unlikely that the bank would raise interest rates until as late as next year.
The pairing is currently fluctuating around $1.37.
