FXStreet (Mumbai) – The GBP/USD pair suffered moderate weakness in Asia, although the bid tone around GBP appears to be gathering pace ahead of the European session.
Focus on market sentiment
Sterling currently trades around 1.5580, after having recovered from the low of 1.5557 levels. The investors are likely to keep an eye on the overall market sentiment. The Fed’s decision to hold rates unchanged has not been well received by the markets. Still, the risk aversion has been moderate so far.
A bout of risk aversion could weigh over the risk currencies like Sterling and vice versa.
