LONDON, June 5 (Reuters) - Sterling ticked higher against the dollar on Thursday, one of the few major currencies to hold its own against the greenback which regained ground after weak U.S. data dragged it lower on Wednesday.
The pound was up 0.14% at $1.3574, while against the euro it was up 0.1% at 84.16 pence.
Sterling remains a touch away from a more than three-year high hit on May 26, underpinned by ongoing dollar weakness with the pound up over 8% this year.

LONDON, May 6 (Reuters) - The pound strengthened against both the dollar and the euro on Tuesday, largely due to weakness in both peers rather than major British news, which is fairly thin until Thursday's closely watched Bank of England meeting.
The pound was last up 0.2% on the dollar at $1.3323 helped by nervousness in markets hoping for trade deals between the U.S. and other countries which could reduce the effect of U.S. tariffs but may not materialise.
