Mid-way through the European session, the Chicago Fed National Activity Index (CFNAI) came out, showing an increase to -0.30 in May from -0.52 in April. The index is designed to gauge overall economic activity and related inflationary pressure. The negative value indicates below-trend economic growth, with values from zero up indicating that the economy is expanding relative to its historical rate of growth.
The GBP/USD rose to a new session high at 1.5422 following the release, a gain of 0.37 percent to this point in the day.
