The British Pound remained stable on the last trading day of the year, showing little change. Due to the UK's economic performance exceeding expectations, the British Pound is expected to be the best performing G10 currency against the US Dollar this year. The similarity in expectations for interest rates in the UK and the USA has limited the difference between the yield on the two countries' Bonds, which in turn influences the appeal of fixed income investments and drives the British Pound Exchange Rates (upward). The British Pound to US Dollar Exchange Rate has only decreased by 1.4% year to date.
