BOE’s McCafferty: It would be "prudent" to start raising interest rates
Fundamentally, Sterling finds support on BoE's McCaffertywho sticks to view interest rates should rise now, in line with a notable shift in tone from Central Banks turning more hawkish.

EUR/GBP levels
EUR/GBP’s high of 0.8882 has not been confirmed by the daily RSI and could be a false break higher, according to analysts at Commerzbank. "Risks are growing on the downside. Below the 0.8719 16th June low will trigger losses to the 0.8632/30 200 and 55 day moving averages. We will need to close above 0.8882 to suggest further upside potential to 0.8987/0.9059, the 61.8% retracement and the highs from mid October."
