Pound Sterling rebounds as robust factory data recede recession fears

The Pound Sterling (GBP) seems to be grabbing a Currency of the Week tag as the United Kingdom’s factory data for June and the April-June Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew stronger than expectations.

GBP/USD portrays anxiety ahead of UK Q2 GDP above 1.2650 despite US Dollar’s retreat on Fed concerns

GBP/USD stays defensive beyond an 11-week-old rising support line, making rounds to 1.2680-90 heading into Friday’s London open. In doing so, the Cable pair justifies the market’s cautious mood of the first readings of the UK’s second quarter (Q2) Gross Domestic Product (GDP), expected 0.0% QoQ versus 0.1% prior, especially amid fears of British recession.

AUD/USD bulls regain control above 0.6950 amid USD retreat

AUD/USD regains traction and extends the previous day's bounce from the weekly low, aiming for 0.7000 in Asia on Friday.

Meanwhile, hawkish RBA expectations also keep the major underpinned.
