Must be nice to be a central bank. Print the amount you need, when you need it.
Yesterday, the Bank of England delivered a new QE3 round that was exactly what the market expected in light of recent upbeat economic activity out of the UK. As a result, the BoE announcement became a non-event after the immediate knee-jerk reaction in the aftermath. Since then, we have seen a correction in pairs like $GBPUSD, $GBAUD, and $GBPNZD. Other pairs like the $EURGBP and $GBPCAD, however, remain rangebound into Friday trading.
