GBP Breaks above 1.60 by Korman Tam

Economic data from the US was better than expected earlier today. Existing home sales shot up by 2.9% in April to 4.68 million units, reversing a downwardly revised 3.4% decline in March. Traders will look ahead to data on Thursday, including weekly jobless claims, April durable goods orders and new home sales.
