GBP/USD - Dips, Then Rallies, On Sub-3% UK CPI Print

By Robert Howard  —  May 20 - 02:43 AM

• Cable dips to 1.3377, then rallies to 1.3406, after cooler than expected UK inflation data

• CPI up 2.8% YY in April vs 3.0% forecast. 1.3377 = fractionally fresh two-day low

• 1.3406 is intra-day high. 1.3378-1.3401 was Asian session range (pre-UK CPI data)

• Cooler CPI print is boost for doves opposed to BoE rate hike in June

• BoE's Bailey, Breeden, Mann and Dhingra to address UK TSC from 1315 GMT

• UK PMQs 1100-1130GMT; first since Labour's poor local election results
