British pound sheds day’s revenues as UK inflation dips
On Tuesday, the British pound declined to the day’s minimums, cutting early gains after data demonstrating that the annual rate of inflation in the UK edged down for the first time since October the previous month.
The currency pair GBP/USD slumped 0.25% being worth 1.3024, drifting away from an earlier peak of 1.3125.

The Bank of England is expected to hold its next policy gathering on August 3. Previously, at the bank's June meeting up to three policymakers backing lifting rates.
The British pound was at the day’s minimums versus the common currency, with EUR/USD soaring 0.66% trading at 0.8850.
