Pound is little changed as budget deficit narrows and GDP rises

The British Sterling strengthened against the U.S. Dollar and weakened versus the shared currency after a government data showed the country's budget deficit narrowed in September and as the U.K. gross domestic product continued to increase in the Q3. The Pound added 0.5% to $1.6219 following a gain to $1.6228, the most since October 3, and it dropped 0.3% to 84.96 pence per Euro.
