GBP/USD Treads Water as UK Inflation Accelerates Amid Strong Bank of England Policy
The GBP/USD pair is trading at 1.3535, maintaining its position above the 50/100/200-day cluster at 1.3429.
However, UK inflation accelerated to 2.9% in July from 2.6%, with the highest reading since March.
The Bank of England's policy position is strong, with a 6-3 vote to hold Bank Rate at 3.75%, and three members pushing for an increase.
A decision on balance sheet reduction will also be made on September 17, which could impact gilt yields and sterling.
