The British Pound exchange rate for January, 2012 averaged 0.64 GBP to
USD. That's 0.3 basis points higher than the December, 2011 rate of 0.64, and
1.1 basis points higher than the January, 2011 rate of 0.63. The minor
movement in the GBP/USD exchange rate from December to January provides
evidence that the short term trend in GBP/USD is relatively flat. If that trend
continues in the currency market, we should see an average daily rate in
February, 2012 that is close to 0.65.

GBP/USD is up (strengthening US Dollar against the British Pound).
