Downside has now become exposed in pound, especially against dollar.
- There is no key data and event risks scheduled for pound this expect from GDP on Friday. So it is very much likely that GBP/USD will be taking cues from dollar side and for now dollar seems to be on strong footing, especially against currencies.
Data from UK had been mixed. While inflation has surprised to downside (-0.1% in April), retail sales have jumped back (+1.2% in April). Housing market is also showing signs of stability and price bounce back. (April HPI grew 7.7% y/y).
