> GBP/USD was nearly unchanged around 1.3450 after recovering from the prior session’s decline, with a softer US dollar providing support. Traders awaited the US nonfarm payrolls report, while lower US bond yields, hopes for Iran diplomacy and a hawkish Bank of England outlook also supported sterling.
