GBP/USD Accelerates NFP Led Up-mMve to 1.4550
The GBP/USD pair accelerated its sharp up-move post disappointing NFP headline numbers and surged past 1.4500 handle and is currently trading at a fresh session high level of 1.4550.
Ahead of the release, the pair was barely managing to hold 50-day SMA support near 1.4400 region as 'Brexit' fears remained key fundamental overhang that continued to weigh on the British Pound.
However, bears were caught on the wrong foot after the US jobs report showed that economy added only 38,000 new jobs in May, which was far below the most pessimistic expectations. The unemployment rate however, fell to 4.7% in May from 5.0% in April.
