GBP/USD consolidates near 10-day lows
GBP/USD has spent the last hours in a narrow range, unable to set short-term direction, after hitting 10-day lows amid broad USD strength and disappointing UK data released during the European session.
GBP/USD bottomed out at 1.1442 during the European trade, but managed to recover some ground afterwards. However, with the upside capped by the 1.4530 zone, Cable was confined to a sideways phase. At time of writing, GBP/USD is trading at 1.4479, just 0.1% below its opening price.
