Due to the current Brexit turbulence, the trading opportunity around GBP can be great!

This daily post is trying to give updates of GPB/USD rate.

Currency data were collected using a currency python API with the follinde code:
~~~
from forex_python.converter import CurrencyRates
def collect_currency_data():
    c = CurrencyRates()
    # price_list = c.get_rates('USD')   # you can directly call get_rates('USD')
    GBP_USD = c.get_rate('GBP', 'USD')
    currency_history_hour= json.load(open('currency_history_hour.json'))
    currency_history_hour.update({str(datetime.utcnow())[:-7]:{
                                      'GBP_USD':GBP_USD
                                      }
                                      })
    with open('currency_history_hour.json', 'w') as fp:
        json.dump(currency_history_hour,fp, indent=4,default=str)
