GBP/USD losing 1.63 handle

FXstreet.com (London) - The dollar rallied after a number of US data readings beat expectations.

GBP/USD is sub 1.6300 again with consumer confidence rebounding 75.1 vs 73.5. Meanwhile, strategists at TD Securities note that decent growth numbers were near consensus however for the UK, and it seems the outsized GBP rally also had a lot to do with a break of key resistance at 1.6240/50. “A close above that level would add to bullish momentum”.
