Nothing really new but the bulls will be pleased with the re-affirmation

MPC member Shafik answering a question at the BOE presser

GBPUSD up to 1.5668

  • Carney says GBP has moved a lot in the past year

But refuses the audience a look at his trading pad!

  • sceptical that we will see secular stagnation but jury still out

And with that the presser concludes

GBPUSD 1.5663 EURGBP 0.7167 as the pound finds a few buyers on the dip.

I'm looking for a hold above 1.5625-30 for this latest strength to consolidate but a break below should see more of a correction into 1.5600 then 1.5560
