The GBP/USD pair is growing its fourth consecutive trading session

No new bad news on Brexit yet, and the statements by St. Louis Fed President James Bullard, that in the near future may require a reduction in rates, strengthened market expectations and put pressure on the dollar towards a decrease.

Also, the British pound found support in connection with optimism about trade relations with the United States after Brexit, especially after US President Donald Trump announced that the USA would have a very significant trade deal with the UK.

However, in the face of continuing British political uncertainty, since the hard-liner advocating Brexit, Boris Johnson is gaining momentum to become the next British Prime Minister, and this could later lead to a withdrawal without a deal, further strengthening of GBP is questionable.

Also today comes the British PMI in the service sector, as well as data from the US – ADP report on employment in the private sector and non-manufacturing PMI ISM, which may affect the prevailing rate.
