GBP/USD ends the week below 1.3000
GBP/USD steadied over the last sessions after crumbling to fresh 31-year lows on Wednesday as the BoE Financial Stability Report fueled Brexit fears.
After bottoming out at 1.2796 on Wednesday, GBP/USD recovered ground and entered a quieter phase within the 1.2850-1.3050 range. Despite some volatility triggered by strong US NFP, Cable continued to respect the range and is finishing the day at 1.2950, 0.36% up on the day but 2.43% lower over the week.
