Pound rises versus Euro amid industrial output advances

The British Sterling appreciated the most in a week against the 17-nation bloc currency as industrial production in the U.K. increased in March and as the Bank of England maintained its stimulus policy program unchanged. The Pound rose 0.1% to 84.56 pence per Euro at 2:08 p.m. in London and it was traded at $1.5537 following an increase to $1.5606 on May 1.
