The GBP was able to gain strength due to the weakening of the USD and strong economic data.

However, economists are still speculating that it will not be long before Britain goes into an economic slowdown.

Carney has since then stated that the BoE has always expected that the main economic sectors would be able to recover from the referendum’s sudden impact in July, and this was shown in the recently published PMI data during the past few days.
