The British Pound recovered some ground against the US Dollar on Tuesday, rising 0.14% to trade around 1.3451. The move came after US JOLTS job openings data came in softer than expected.
Despite the miss, the report still pointed to a resilient labor market, with layoffs little changed. Market participants saw the figures as a factor pressuring the Dollar.
Additionally, falling oil prices contributed to the Dollar's weakness, providing a tailwind for the GBP/USD pair.
