“Carney essentially defended the BOE’s forward guidance while also noting that the 7% unemployment threshold was not an automatic trigger for tighter monetary policy.”
“UK GDP numbers are on tap today and if these fuel the continued positivity from recent data releases, a test towards 1.6240 cannot be ruled out although we remain top heavy/neutral on the pair pending further cues.”
