BoE released its dovish speech, GBPUSD eased.
GBPUSD, which traded by major investors slumped over the dovish tone from the Bank of England (BoE). According to Reuters, BoE Governor Andrew Bailey claimed that BoE would not necessarily have to take aggressive rate hike in order to cooling down the spiking inflation. He also reiterated that there were signs of an economic slowdown taking hold in Britain. In the early month, BoE said it was ready to act forcefully if needed to tackle inflation that it expects to exceed 11% in October.

As of now, investors would continue to scrutinize the latest update with regards of the upcoming UK GDP data in order to receive further trading signals. As of writing, the pair of GBPUSD edged up by 0.09% to 1.2136.
