GBP/USD reverses early losses
- GBP/USD bounces from lows, on track to post first gain in three days
- Investors await BoE monetary policy decision
GBP/USD has managed to recover more than a full cent during the New York session, in tandem with a weaker dollar across the board.

Despite these last days’ pullback, Cable continues to trade fairly close to its 1 ½-year peak of 1.4344 scored late January.
