GBPUSD faces strong seasonal headwinds!
At the last Bank of England meeting two of the more hawkish members of the Monetary Policy Committee, Mann and Haskell, pulled back from the hiking interest rate camp and moved into the holding interest rate camp. This led to the GBP sell off after the last March BoE meeting. However, since then the GBP has pulled back on an index level largely helped by the Chief Economist Huw Pill who was happy to look at the latest UK data and say that he saw no change from March’s rate meeting.
