FXStreet (Mumbai) – The GBP/USD was trading with moderate losses at the time of writing after the BOE reported a drop in its gauge of 12-month inflation expectations.

Rejected at 1.5460

The spot failed to take out 1.5460 earlier today and turned lower. Sterling dipped into losses after the latest inflation expectation data from the BOE and GFK printed at 2%, compared to the previous figure of 2.2%. Two-year Inflation expectations remained unchanged at 2.3%.

Ahead in the day, the spot could remain muted as the economic calendar at both the sides of the Atlantic does not offer first tier data releases. The US PPI and Michigan confidence could trigger minor moves.
