The British pound on Friday had regained some incremental territory among the G10 currency set as the third quarter came to a close.
GBP/CAD is 0.2% up at C$1.52, with similar price action being seen against the Swiss franc.
The GBP/USD pair is sitting at US$1.11, a small improvement from the previous day and marking the third consecutive day of clawbacks following the Bank of England’s sovereign bonds intervention.

The US dollar softened after its impressive run of late, partially due to yesterday’s gross domestic product (GDP) results that showed negative growth of 0.6%.
Against the Swiss franc, the dollar lost ground, though a bullish clawback is already being entertained on the four-hour trading chart.
