Hawkish BoE stance might limit the downside for GBP/USD
"The MPC reiterated its commitment to a 'gradual and careful' approach to any future rate cuts. Meanwhile, Governor Bailey acknowledged that further reduction is likely, but he emphasised that the timing and scale remain uncertain given the recent uptick in inflation."
"The relatively hawkish BoE stance versus the Fed could limit the downside for GBP/USD. Resistance at 1.3600 before the next at 1.3790. Support at 1.3470 (50 DMA)."
