Hovers below June 1 low
The spot now trades few pips below 1.5170 (June 1 low). The latest decline goes unexplained as the there was no fresh fundamental trigger. The Sterling has been hammered throughout the week as markets pushed BOE rate hike bets further out in 2016 after last week’s dovish Federal Reserve event.
A weekly loss is more or less confirmed now, although bear grip may looses on account of profit taking ahead of the weekend. The US Q2 GDP report, due for release in a few minutes, could also influence the pair.
