FXStreet (Mumbai) - The technical recovery in the GBP/USD did not even manage to take the pair to 23.6% retracement of the last week’s fall located at 1.5138.
Consolidates above 1.51
The spot traded in the sideways manner around 1.5110 in Asia today as investors await fresh cues. The UK economic calendar is empty today, but offers labor and wage data releases tomorrow, which will be followed by BOE’s Carney speech.
Meanwhile, the US Import price index due today could be largely ignored by the markets. Fed’s Evans, in his speech within a hour, could cheer Friday’s NFP release and talk up the December rate hike bets.
