Key Quotes:
"We look for the BoE to raise rates 25bps in Nov. Sterling firmed in response to the comments and got some additional support from positive signs from UK/EU Brexit talks."
"Cable failed to pick up any real support from the basing signals on the intraday chart but positive price signals on the short-term charts (bullish outside range reversal on the 6-hour chart) again today do suggest that bargain hunters remain active in scooping up “cheap” GBPs at the moment."
