FXStreet (Mumbai) - The GBP/USD pair is witnessing a minor wave of selling as we head into the European session. The pair hit a fresh session low of 1.4739 levels.
GBP/USD: Fresh cues from Gilt yields awaited
The investors await fresh signals from the UK Gilt markets. The decline in the UK Gilt yields could lead to a further loss in the GBP/USD pair. The cable suffered sharp losses on Thursday after the Bank of England economist Haldane said the bank could be forced to cut interest rates to zero in order to fight the deflationary forces.
Consequently, the 10-year gilt yield fell. Thus, investors are likely to wait and see how the yields perform today, before making further bets on the GBP/USD pair.
GBP/USD Technical Levels
The immediate support is seen at 1.4687, under which losses could be extended to 1.4633 levels. On the flip side, resistance is seen at 1.4775 and 1.4850 levels.
