GBP/USD Stable Above Lows As BoE Presser Begins
GBP
- GBP/USD plumbed a new pullback low on the dovish interpretation of the 7-2 vote, the 1.6% 3-yr CPI forecast and Bailey's optimism that "things are moving in the right direction".
- Rate slipped to 1.2448 before stabilising, while EUR/GBP rallies well back above the 200-dma, but still well short of the key 0.8645 resistance.
- Markets watch for any commentary on the suitability of a June or August rate cut, on which Bailey notes a June Bank rate cut is "not ruled out, or planned".
