Speculations that retail sales would post another month of gains were confirmed providing support for the pound to regain terrain versus the euro and several other currencies, changing the negative outlook for the British currency to a better trajectory.
The pound gained versus most of 16 traded currencies as retail sales in the U.K. touched the highest level in 2 years in October, bringing confidence back towards pound-priced assets, after rather turbulent weeks that shunned away investors from the British currency in foreign-exchange markets.
EUR/GBP traded at 0.9039 as of 21:36 GMT from a previous rate of 0.9118 in the intraday.
