The pound gains ground on labour market
The UK's labour market data beat analysts' forecasts. There were 65,000 new jobs added, and the unemployment rate remained at 3.7%, despite a projected rise to 3.8%. The strong report was good news for the pound. The Cable gained a foothold above the 50-day moving average and will likely continue to rise.
