GBP/USD lost its traction and declined to its lowest level in over a week near 1.2550 after soft UK inflation data on Wednesday. BoE Governor Bailey said that the inflation data did not really change their view on the outlook from February policy decision.
In the meantime, the UK's FTSE 100 Index opened higher on Wednesday and US stock index futures turned positive on the day after spending the Asian session moving sideways. In case risk flows start to dominate the action in financial markets in the second half of the day, the USD could lose some interest and help GBP/USD find a foot hold.
GBP/USD witnessed a rollercoaster ride in 2023 but the Pound Sterling managed to preserve the recovery gains seen in the first half of the year to a 15-month high of 1.3142.
