After the GBPUSD slid to new multi-month lows due to the rise in Brexit tensions which elevated the chances of a no-deal Brexit, forex traders will get key inflation data this morning. The Bank of England has reminded markets that their mandate is not Brexit, and with inflationary pressures on the rise they would raise interest rates. While many analysts believe this to be an unlikely outcome, the risk for a more hawkish central bank persists. Will today’s inflation data inspire a short-covering rally in the GBPUSD?
