GBP/USD has moved sharply higher after Personal Consumption Expenditures and The Real (Core) Personal Consumption Expenditure came in line, while the key data in focus, The Gross Domestic Product annualised, came in worse at 1.8% against 2.4% expected
GBP/USD rallies capped at 1.5510/50
Karen Jones, analyst at Commerzbank said the downside should be maintained. She expects this to remain tepid and for near term rallies to remain capped 1.5510/1.5550 for an immediate downside bias to be maintained.
