On Wednesday, as GBPJPY tested and then overturned from 140 once again, the British pound gained ground in opposition to the majors. No UK data was released, but the British pound is going to see event risk on Thursday from the Bank of England’s (BOE) most recent rate conclusion. The BOE is expected to be released at 7:00 ET that they have left their Bank Rate the same at 0.50 %, but this is not going to be influential enough to move the market as the statement. In its place, traders are going to be looking toward the BOE’s policy announcement. This has always been the key news event of current rate conclusions. Last month, the BOE showed a neutral position as they announced they would keep their £175 billion quantitative reduction program go on, and this eventually led the British pound to rally in opposition to the US dollar and euro right away.
