  • What impact will US CPI, released on Wednesday, have on GBPUSD?

  • What will GBPEUR’s reaction be to the ECB rate decision on Thursday?

  • ECB members Knot and Kazimir however, have hinted that a September rate hike is still a ‘possibility’.

  • Bloomberg gives a 35% chance of a rate hike from the ECB on Thursday, suggesting that any decision could move the market.
