The GBPUSD nosedived following the results of the MPC voting. The inflation report was also heavy on warnings as to the growth prospects of the UK economy despite the drop of price in the Commodities. GBPUSD dropped to 1.5469 from 1.5620 but rebounded 60 pips from the lows.
Elsewhere, FX pairs are taking a break from the volatility with no significant development to be noticed. US Jobless claims came more or less in line with expectations, (slight improvement) – surely good enough to keep rate hike expectations alive. Focus turns to NFP tomorrow at 12:30 GMT
