GBP/USD hits fresh lows for the day
GBP/USD has seen some weakness on Thursday and turned lower after reaching fresh 3-week highs during the European session, with disappointing UK readings weighing.
GBP/USD climbed to its highest level since early May at 1.4738, but faltered ahead of monthly highs and turned intraday negative, dropping more than 100 pips to a low of 1.4639 so far. At time of writing, the pair is trading at 1.4647, down 0.32% on the day.
Uncertainty over the upcoming EU membership referendum has kept investors wary and the pound on the defensive, although with most polls favoring the remain vote, the British currency has managed to stage a nice comeback over the last weeks.
