GBPUSD thread water, waiting for next major market mover.
“Greenback enters into correction while other major currencies stood still to wait for further signals.”
GBPUSD is seemingly quiet today while investors wait for the imminent release of key economic data from UK as well as Bank of England’s Treasury hearing session. Yesterday, greenback enters into corrective mode after propelling significantly over the backdrop of bullish Nonfarm Payrolls data. The data cemented the course for more rate hikes as job growth remains resilient despite aggressive policy tightening from the Fed.
