Sterling’s rise above 1.5413 (38.2% of last two week’s fall) proved to be short lived. The quick spike ran into offers since the BOE minutes sounded concerned regarding the disinflationary impact of the strong GBP.
The spot would now look towards the weekly jobless claims report in the US due later today. Meanwhile, sentiment on the Wall Street could also affect Sterling.
