GBP/USD back to 1.3350, still bid post-BoE
The British pound is now looking to digest the recent decision by the BoE, taking GBP/USD to the mid-1.3300s for the time being.
GBP/USD faded the spike above 1.34
Spot has quickly reversed the spike to multi-day tops to the 1.3460/65 band following the steady stance from the BoE at today’s meeting and is now consolidating the firmer tone around the 1.3370 region.
Recall that MPC members voted 8-1 in order to leave the current monetary conditions intact, although most members expect some form of easing at the meeting next month.
