GBP/USD settled ahead of closing hours

FXstreet.com (London) - GBP/USD has settled ahead of the close for the weekend, oscillating in the 1.5630’s.

The pair settled down after a turbulent day in the wake of the US Dollar trading negatively following the weaker than expected US Non Farm Payrolls data. The non-farm payrolls grew by 169K in August versus 180K expected, while July figure was downwardly revised to 104K from 162K previously estimated. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate dropped to 7.3% from 7.4% but that was because fewer people were looking for work
