Sterling rose on Thursday after tumbling yesterday to a two-month low against the dollar, with the pound capitalizing on dollar's weakness today to recover some losses.
GBP/USD last traded at 1.2245, up from the opening of 1.2231, with an intraday high at 1.2284, and a low at 1.2230.
Sterling's rise comes as the dollar dips against main currencies, underpinning the pound according to their inverse relation.
Upbeat British growth data didn't help the pound in the last days due to mounting negative pressures on the royal currency, specially after the dollar parked near a 14-year peak against main currencies.
Negative pressures remain on the pound amid concerns of an unsafe exit from the European Union, which raises the tensions in the financial markets, in turn impacting sterling against other currencies.
