In recent days, the cable has been one of the best performing currency pairs. It has risen from a low of 1.3700 in early March to a high of 1.4400 yesterday. The surge the pair has experienced can be attributed to several factors. First, there seems to be progress in the Brexit negotiations, inflation, the threats of a trade war, and the positive economic data from the UK.
