The British pound weakened in European trading on Tuesday against a basket of major currencies, retreating from a two-month high against the US dollar. This decline was attributed to some profit-taking and corrective selling, as well as investors' reluctance to establish new long positions ahead of key UK economic data releases.
The pound fell more than 0.1% against the dollar to $1.3362, from an opening price of $1.3377, after reaching a high of $1.3384.
