GBP marking territory in 1.62 handle post Fed
FXStreet (Guatemala) - GBP/USD is trading at 1.6293, up 0.10% on the day, having posted a daily high at 1.6360 and low at 1.6249.
After some volatility, GBP/USD is lower post the release of the Fed decision to keep rates on hold and having reduced their asset purchasing programme to $10B from $15B. What is key here is that they will be keeping the considerable time pledge for low rates post QE for now. We now await Yellen’s commentary in the press conference who will be enlightening the markets around their statement and changes in language.
