January 7, 2021 - Written by John Cameron GBP/CAD Exchange Rate Rangebound as UK GPs and Pharmacies to Rollout Covid-19 Vaccine The Pound to Canadian Dollar (GBP/CAD) exchange rate held steady today, with the pairing currently trading around CA$1.72. Sterling benefited from news that UK GP’s surgeries and pharmacies would be allowed to rollout out the new Oxford/AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine.

In UK economic data, today saw the release of December’s UK Construction PMI, which reassured markets at 54.6.
