Overnight, the British pound advanced 0.6% to $1.2477. The Cable has been boosted by upbeat comments by central bank officials.
Earlier this week, Bank of England Chief Economist Andy Haldane pointed out that the recovery in Britain looks V-shaped.
Yesterday, Jonathan Haskel, a BOE monetary policy committee member, said the second quarter as a whole will not be quite as negative as expected.
Meanwhile, such optimism on economic recovery has been quenched a bit by Gita Gopinath, chief economist of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). In a discussion with the House of Commons Treasury Committee, she suggested: "I think we could end up with something much more flat. (...) It's a little too early at this point to project what the rest of that path would look like."
On an Intraday 30-minute Chart, GBP/USD has confirmed a Bullish Pattern of Higher Highs.

In fact, a rising trend line drawn from June 30 remains intact.
GBP/USD keeps trading at levels around the ascending 20-period moving average, which stands above the 50-period one
The trailing key support has been raised to 1.2435 (the 50-period moving average).
Unless this level is breached, GBP/USD is expected to advance toward 1.2510 (a price base seen in June 23-24) and 1.2545 (around the high of June 24).
Alternatively, a return to 1.2435 would open a path toward the next downside support 1.2390.

Recent trading sessions have reflected a more neutral tone around the Australian dollar. This can be seen in AUD/USD price action, which has posted moves of roughly 0.2% over the last two sessions without establishing a clear direction. Much of this lack of momentum is linked to expectations surrounding the next policy moves from both the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) and the Federal Reserve.
