The pound was last trading at US$1.3321, up 0.73 per cent on the day after earlier climbing 1.2 per cent to US$1.3423. The euro was last up 0.30 per cent, at US$1.2147. “The risk is then if the Fed does unveil a surprise twist at this meeting, then Treasuries could rally and the USD could fall,” said Tapas Strickland, a director of economics at NAB.
