GBPUSD outlook
The highest interest rates by the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank will probably keep investors busy this week, and also the UK general election which will determine the direction of Brexit.
The market will also be watching the headlines of US President Donald Trump's global trade war ahead of the upcoming December 15 deadline for a new stage of US tariffs on Chinese imports.
The US dollar rose on Friday, stopping five days of losses in a row, as data showed the US economy created far more jobs than expected in November which underlined expectations that the Fed will remain stable after cutting interest rates three times this year.
Dollar profit is still normal despite strong employment figures, however. The greenback was hit earlier in the week due to the many bleak figures on private payrolls, services, manufacturing and construction spending, all of which indicate that the economy is slowing down.
Friday's employment report provides relief from all pessimism and from the ongoing uncertainty over the status of US-China trade negotiations.
The dollar still posted its worst weekly percentage loss in more than a month despite Friday's gains.
