The pair continues falling amid weakening in the GBP. The Pound was pressured by poor data on the GDP for the first quarter of the year in the UK. On a year-to-year basis, the index came out at 2.0%, which was 0.1% worse than forecasts. In addition, the Total Business Investment in the country in the previous quarter declined by 0.5%. Today attention needs to be paid to data from the US, where the first quarter of the year GDP is due. Experts predict growth in the index to 0.9%.
