GBP/USD standstill into the final hour

FXstreet.com (London) - FXstreet.com (London) - GBP/USD is positioned in the proximity of the highs for the week in the closing hour.

GBP/USD has climbed over two big figures from the start of the week when the pair was trading at 1.6140. Jane Foley, Senior Currency Strategist at Rabobank said the BoE yesterday took its first steps to distance itself from accusations that it has been fuelling a potential bubble in UK house prices. “The BoE is in no rush to hike rates but yesterday’s move signals the start of what is likely to be a slow move towards a withdrawal of liquidity. We expect GBP to remain well supported vs. EUR, USD and JPY going forward.”
