GBP/USD has made steady progress throughout the EU session following a close shave at 1.3810 before Cable bounced firmly through 1.3850, 1.3900 and 1.3950 all the way to around 1.3992/3, while EUR/GBP continues its retracement from 0.8700+ to circa 0.8590. Not much in the way of fresh bullish UK specifics or Pound positives, but this week’s domestic agenda is busy given top tier data, BoE commentary, CBI surveys and the preliminary PMIs.
