Key Quotes:
"Pound continues unable to attract buying interest, even despite the release of the latest UK employment report showed that unemployment level fell down to 5.1%, its lowest since early 2016. The number of people unemployed decreased by more than expected, albeit wages disappointed, growing below market's expectations.
A bottom is still unclear, given that the pair has set a lower low and a lower high daily basis, but an upward corrective movement can't be dismissed for this Thursday, considering that the pair accumulates nearly 800 pips of steady decline."
