Image © Adobe Images Pound Sterling may be set to play 'Thomas and Firends', as the 'Spaceman' Sends, for Graceful and New to send or bend a Fountain of Love from above, for many and just a handful or few; which might see GBP/USD rising from 1.33, to 1.44, next door as the author itself, and an Elf, step onto a sort of illuminated dance floor.

At 2.2743, GBP/NZD is at its highest since March 13 (2.2754), and rolling back the calendar will show that anything above here was last seen in December 2015.
