GBP/USD Technical Analysis: The Sterling is trapped just above 1.3200

The Sterling has coiled into a tight consolidation range through Friday's early Asian action as the pair winds into the end-week's European markets.
The week's swing highs are representing significant resistance for the pair, despite the GBP's overall impressive performance this week, fueled by Brexit hopes bolstering the Cable.
The Cable is being supported by a rising 200-hour moving average, with the 50-hour EMA keeping the pair on the upside from the 1.3200 major level.

Gold trades above $4,350; looks to US CPI for fresh impetus

Gold ticks higher during the Asian session on Wednesday, stalling the previous day's retracement slide from a two-month high.

9-3: Is the Federal Reserve’s vote tally Warsh's new forward guidance?

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
