A point worth noting is the disappointing US housing stats that helped GBP/USD pair to remain solid before the recent mild run-up.

It will be combined with UK political updates to direct short-term GBP/USD movements. The onus will be on Thursday’s UK GDP figures along with the US Core PCE Inflation data on Friday for clear direction.
