The pound starts Monday supported by stronger-than-expected UK GDP and improving services activity, which reduce concerns about a sharp economic slowdown.
At the same time, weaker US retail sales and softer inflation have lowered the probability of a Federal Reserve rate hike in September, reducing support for the dollar.
Upcoming UK inflation and labor market data remain a risk, but for now the softer US dollar backdrop and resilient UK economy favor a moderate rise in GBPUSD.
Trading idea: BUY 1.3540, SL 1.3505, TP 1.3620
