Daily Currency Update

GBP - British Pound

GBP/USD pushed through the 1.28 figure on positive Brexit sentiment yesterday, despite no agreement being struck, yet. Volatility in GBP crosses remains heightened in advance of today's EU Summit and will likely continue for the rest of the week.

Key Movers

US retail sales data printed weaker than expected yesterday and put some downward pressure on the dollar. Meanwhile, not only do the war of words between US and China rumble on but US-Turkey relationships remain strained, and potentially coming to a head.
