The GBP/USD pair traded with mild gains near 1.3350 during early Asian hours on Friday. The US Dollar edged lower against the Pound following a weaker-than-expected US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report, which pointed to cooling in the labor market.
US markets are closed on Friday in observance of the Independence Day holiday. The subdued dollar momentum provided support for the British Pound, keeping the pair in positive territory.
