After a grim year, the British pound has quietly rallied back in the last month – in fact, the currency is likely to record its strongest single month in seven years this November.

Sterling's trade weighted index, compiled by the Bank of England, has risen by more than 5% in the last 30 days. If it holds its rise for another week, November will be the most positive month for sterling since January 2009.
