GBP/USD parked around 1.5900
FXstreet.com (Edinburgh) -The GBP/USD remains almost unchanged from yesterday’s close, alternating gains and losses around the key 1.5900 handle on Tuesday.
GBP/USD firm ahead of the BoE minutes
Inflation figures softer that expectations in the British economy during August dragged the pair from the vicinity of 1.5940 to fresh intraday lows near 1.5880, sparking the ongoing bounce to the 1.5905/10. According to Paul Robson, Strategist at RBS, “we think the next real resistance area is actually the whole 1.5966 to 1.6065/70 area (the top of the upward channel), although with a good wind behind GBP/USD, if the USD Index does break down, there nothing to stop this attempting 1.6330 bigger picture.”
