Great Britain Pound Falls for Third Session

The Great Britain pound dropped today, extending its decline against the US dollar for the third consecutive trading session, as traders were waiting for the so-called Super Thursday.

On Thursday, the Bank of England will announce its first policy decision this year, release the Inflation Report, while BoE Governor Mark Carney will speak at a press conference. No changes to the existing monetary policy are expected, but traders are worried that the bank’s statement will demonstrate a dovish tone due to Brexit fears. This resulted in the first three-day drop of the pound this year.

GBP/USD dropped from 1.2561 to 1.2516. as of 14:52 GMT today. GBP/JPY declined from 144.25 to 143.01.
