The pound held steady on Tuesday, retaining gains overnight after Britain struck a new trade deal with the European Union, which brightened the outlook for the post-Brexit UK economy and signalled improved relations between London and the bloc.

The U.S. dollar index was flat in early trade but headed for a 2.5% monthly gain, its first since last September, as investors ramp up their expectations of how high the Federal Reserve would need to raise rates to tame inflation.
