GBP/USD bounces-off 1.4330
The GBP/USD pair trades -0.05% lower at fresh session highs of 1.4371, having found solid support near 1.4330 region. The cable’s recovery gained traction over the last as markets digest BOE Governor Carney’s comments, while attention shifts to the UK final GDP figures due out shortly.
The third and final estimate of GDP is expected to confirm steady growth of 0.5% in Q4 2015. The annualized growth rate is seen unchanged at 1.9%.
