Sterling "close to flat" versus the dollar

Sterling
//
The pound was "close to flat" against the US currency this morning (October 28th), one news provider has noted.

Forex traders might have been interested to note that Reuters revealed sterling was at $1.5770, although the greenback decreased against a currency basket due to a rally for the US tender this week.

A London-based spot trader stated: "Sterling's still a sell for me and I'm looking to sell cable at $1.5850 for a move back down to $1.5650."

This comes as the news provider pointed out that analysts are expecting the Confederation of British Industry to show a retreated balance in annual sales growth in October compared to the six-year high of 49 that was achieved in September.

Yesterday morning, the pound fell by 0.5 per cent against the dollar as it moved down to $1.5775, following a one-week high of $1.5897 experienced on Tuesday, Reuters reported.
