ACTION: GBP/USD N/A
MPC, Monetary Policy Committee, from Bank of England (BOE) is releasing their meeting minutes over the Rate Decision meeting held about two weeks ago along with the actual vote count over the rate decision and the Asset Purchasing Facility program. If you recall, MPC decided leave both interested rate and APF unchanged and they are undecided on whether or not the APF (quantitative easing program) should expire or extended for the time being. But without a concrete answer on the APF program, market took that as a bearish message and sold off GBP.

MPC, Monetary Policy Committee, from Bank of England (BOE) will be releasing their meeting minutes over the Rate Decision meeting held 2 weeks ago along with the actual vote count over the rate decision and possibly the Qquantitative Easing measures (QE). Last rate decision MPC decided to leave both rates and their QE unchanged, which provided an immediate short-term (and short-lived) support for the British Pound. This meeting minutes, however, will probably have more profound effect on the British Pound than its predecessors because of the sharp gain in GBP last week, which was attributed to none other than the rumor to the possible termination of the QE program, and solid proof will be provided by official sources today.
