GBP/USD reverses losses, back to square one

By FXStreet FXStreet (Córdoba) – The pound completed a round trip and is back at square one versus the US dollar after briefly falling to the 1.5100 area on the back of the BoE ‘Super Thursday’.

GBP/USD came under pressure and fell to a low of 1.5109 following BoE decision to leave monetary policy unchanged at today’s meeting as investors were probably expecting a hawkish hint. However, the Sterling managed to erase intraday losses and climbed back to the 1.5180 zone, where it trades at time of writing, virtually unchanged on the day.

GBP/USD levels to watch
