GBP/USD briefly dips below 1.6800

FXStreet (Córdoba) - The GBP/USD briefly dipped below the 1.6800 mark to retest daily lows as the dollar strengthened slightly in the wake of better-than-expected US jobless claims data.

US jobless claims rose 2,000 to 304,000 in the week ended April 11, beating expectations of 315,000. The GBP/USD dipped to a session low of 1.6796 but quickly bounced back above 1.6800 to trade around 1.6810, up 0.09% on the day. The GBP/USD is staging a pullback from a fresh 4 ½-year high of 1.6841 scored Thursday in the aftermath of solid UK employment figures released the previous day.
