GBP/USD is on the way higher, provided good industrial data

FXStreet (Moscow) - GBP/USD was more agile than EUR/USD in the morning. It reached 1.6306 low at the start, and rebounded to 1.6337 by the moment.

The pound still has hope

The pound didn’t show any desire to react to anything what was going on around the euro, though it lost ground in the cross EUR/GBP. The disappointing data from services PMI slapped the currency, but it is still resilient waiting for another confirmation of slowing growth. Today’s industrial production data may give a breath of positive air, and in this case the pair may resume the rise. The initial target may be at 1.6361 resistance level, followed by 1.6394.
