The British Pound (GBP) regained control over the New Zealand Dollar (NZD) leading into the weekly close, clawing back mid-week losses to finish up back around 1.9800 (0.5050) levels. Earlier downgrade by Fitch rating agency of the UK credit outlook took a toll, also of note were poor results in UK construction PMIs with the weakest data since May 2020.
