GBP/CAD challenges 1.9000 ahead of referendum results
|The GBP/CAD cross closes the day a tad higher, having advanced to a fresh monthly high of 1.9005 by the end of the session. Brexit woes, saw the pair trading within wide ranges over these last few days, with the cross advancing on pound's demand.
The rally however was in part offset by Canadian dollar’s strength as crude oil prices closed the day modestly higher above $50.00 a barrel.
