The GBP/USD exchange rate jumped to the highest level since September last year, continuing an uptrend that started in November last year when it bottomed at 1.3017. It rose after the UK published strong macro numbers, raising the odds of a Federal Reserve and Bank of England divergence.
The EUR/USD exchange rate continued its recent rally and crossed the important resistance level at 1.1805 as the US dollar retreated and as the Greenland crisis eased. It has jumped by 2.10% from its lowest point this month.
