GBP/USD: Sterling declined against the dollar in six months on Friday following a strong-than-expected jobs growth data that raised investor expectations that the Federal Reserve could retain its rate interest hikes. Labor Department data showed on Friday that the U.S. economy added 339,000 jobs last month, significantly higher than most estimates and suggesting tighter labor market conditions which might prompt a Fed rate hike.The market mood was also supported by the U.S. Senate passing bipartisan legislation on Thursday that lifted the federal government's $31.4 trillion debt ceiling and averted what would have been a first-ever default. Immediate resistance can be seen at 1.2516 (23.6%fib), an upside break can trigger rise towards 1.2553 (Daily high).On the downside, immediate support is seen at 1.2468(21DMA), a break below could take the pair towards 1.2435(38.2%fib).

The central bank is due to make an interest rate decision next Wednesday. Money markets see a roughly 40% chance it will raise its benchmark rate for the first time since January. The price of oil, one of Canada’s major exports, clawed back some of its weekly decline ahead of a meeting of OPEC and its allies this weekend.

U.S. employment increased more than expected in May, but a moderation in wages could allow the U.S. Federal Reserve to skip a rate hike this month for the first time in more than a year, which could support oil demand.
