"Looking ahead to the rest of this week in the UK, we have the minutes from this month’s interest rate announcement tomorrow morning and retail sales numbers on Friday morning".
"Across the pond it looks very quiet with housing data being the main event, beginning with Existing Home Sales this afternoon".
"The Investec trading desk believe that GBPUSD and GBPEUR are likely to remain range-bound in the current environment but are remaining sensitive to breaks above 1.6870 and 1.2240 in GBPUSD and GBPEUR respectively, to potentially trigger the next leg of the pound rally."
