GBP/USD hovers above 1.6100
FXStreet (Córdoba) - GBP/USD managed to regain the 1.6100 level, supported by better sentiment across markets, in spite of dovish comments from a Bank of England member.
BoE MPC member Haldane said that recent developments imply that interest rates could remain lower for longer than he had expected three months ago.
However, risk appetite offset everything else and drove Cable to its highest level in a week at 1.6125. However, GBP/USD lost momentum and pulled back somewhat to currently trade at the 1.6120 area, recording a 0.22% gain Friday.
