Pound Sterling Price News and Forecast: GBP/USD pares the biggest daily gains in over a week
|GBP/USD fades recovery near 1.1100, US inflation, BOE’s bond-buying eyed
GBP/USD struggles to extend the previous day’s rebound from a two-week low, retreating to 1.1095 of late, as markets turn dicey ahead of Thursday’s US inflation data. Also weighing on the Cable pair could be recently hawkish comments from the Federal Reserve Governor Michelle Bowman, as well as fears surrounding the British economy and the Bank of England’s (BOE) bond-buying program.
