At 06:00 GMT the United Kingdom Office for National Statistics released the monthly UK GDP data.

Despite hitting the forecast of 0.2% growth, the publication caused a drop of the Pound's value due to the revision of the prior data from -0.5% to -0.6%.

After the release the GBP/USD increased volatility and initially surged from 1.2315 up to 1.2330, but then the markets spotted the downwards revision. As the information about the negative surprise review has and continued to spread the rate went from 1.2330 down below the 1.2300 mark.

As other USD pairs surge due to the weakness of the US Dollar, it can be concluded that the GBP/USD is dominated by the UK fundamental data.
