Sterling fell today to a seven-week low despite strong U.K. growth rates in the third quarter, but the royal currency was still hurt by dollar's strength.
GBP/USD last traded at 1.2250, down form the opening of 1.2261, with a session-high at 1.2273, and a low at 1.2234.
Earlier U.K. data showed the GDP growing 0.6% in the third quarter, up from expectations of 0.5%.
Strong U.K. growth data couldn't support the pound today due to negative pressures on the royal currency, specially as the dollar traded near a 14-year peak versus major currencies.
Worries remain regarding Britain's unsafe exit from the European Union, which reflected negatively on the pound's performance against the dollar and other currencies.
