Bank of England's quarterly inflation report meeting a.k.a. the Super Thursday meeting concludes today. While a rate hike is off the table, it's quite possible that they'll maintain an upbeat assessment of the economy despite some recent weakness in the short term data. If anything, stronger pound brings some of the desired tightening without them needing to hike. That said, I wouldn't go long GBP/USD just yet.
