Pound remains strong following BoE boost outlook.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

During late Asian session, the pound sterling which traded against the dollar and other currency pairs have rose following last week policy decision from BoE. The BoE left its monetary policy unchanged as expected, and lowered its Q1 2021 growth forecasts for Britain. However, markets were most excited about the bank\u2019s indication that it was giving no signals on negative interest rates. BoE Governor Andrew Bailey have denied market speculation on interest rate cuts towards negative levels for the foreseeable future. He stressed that they are still studying on the approach and it will not be implemented for the next 6 months. At the same time, the market also remains positive on vaccine rollout in the country where UK vaccine rollout success could lead to a brighter second half of the year. At the time of writing, GBP\/USD rose 0.03% to 1.3728.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the commodities market, crude oil price extends its gains and soars 0.47% to $57.30 per barrel as of writing following supply cuts among key producers. Saudi Arabia’s pledge of extra supply cuts in February and March on the back of reductions by other members of the OPEC and its allies, including Russia, is helping to balance global markets and tighten global supply. On the other hand, gold price edge higher 0.06% to $1811.88 a troy ounce at the time of writing following ongoing dollar weakness.<\/p>\n
