GBP Trading Outlook (27-01-2011)
The Sterling (GBP) received support from the MPC minutes after the shocking GDP release on Tuesday. The MPC minutes showed 7-2 vote for a hold at the last meeting. The additional member voting for a rate hike was on the back of recent high inflation numbers and fueled trader expectations of early interest rate increases. Overall the GBP/USD traded with a low of 1.5767 and a high of 1.5942 before closing the day at 1.5910 in the New York session. Looking ahead, January CBI Distributive Trades are forecast at 35 vs. 56 previously.
