GBP

The British pound is the official currency of the United Kingdom. In daily transactions, the British pound is more popular with everyone.

(2) Sterling has a positive correlation with energy prices. Since energy production accounts for 10% of the UK's GDP, sterling is usually correlated with energy prices.

In addition, higher oil prices also benefit UK energy exporters.
