Sterling Seen as Vulnerable After BOE Statement
0714 GMT - Sterling looks vulnerable after the Bank of England
said it would assess the impact of new fiscal policy at its next
meeting instead of delivering an emergency interest rate rise as
some market participants expected, ING says. GBP/USD hit a record
low of 1.0349 on Monday following U.K. Treasury chief Kwasi
Kwarteng's mini-budget statement on Friday, prompting the BOE to
signal it could take action at its next scheduled meeting in
November. "But six-to-nine weeks is a long time in FX markets," ING
analyst Chris Turner says in a note. "We had felt that the BOE
would prefer to avoid getting sucked into defending the pound with
rate hikes." GBP/USD is last up 0.9% at 1.0788; EUR/GBP falls 0.4%
to 0.8947. (renae.dyer@wsj.com)
