GBP/USD hardly moves despite reports of health care bill losing ground
|GBP/USD is hardly responding to reports of health care bill losing ground and continues to trade around 1.2495 levels.
White House is losing confidence
The reports are doing the rounds that the White House is no longer expressing confidence that the house vote on health care will be successful. As per Reuters report Republicans in Congress said they lacked the votes needed for passage of their US health care system overhaul.
It looks as though the bill has been rejected once again, although we haven’t heard any official confirmation. The White House expects the vote at 3:30 p.m.
