Sterling advanced against the dollar in American trade following earlier data from the US, and amid a lack thereof from Britain on Friday.  

 

As of 05:56 GMT, GBP/USD rose to 1.2722 from the opening of 1.2682, with an intraday high at 1.2744, and a low at 1.2676. 

 

Earlier US data showed the preliminary readings for both manufacturing and services PMI down in June, while new home sales rose past expectations in May.
