Hopes for a strengthening of the pound sterling remain

Demand for the U.S. dollar is recovering, causing the GBPUSD to start the week in a bad way. Ahead of the Bank of England's speech, the pound is being negatively affected by risk aversion.

An increase in coronavirus infection cases in China has renewed quarantines, leading to widening tightness. Now markets are avoiding risk, and investors are putting more trust into the safer U.S. dollar, refusing currencies that are more sensitive to risk, such as the pound sterling. This is reported by a senior analyst and Asian sessions manager at FXStreet.

Recession warnings have negatively affected the U.K. budget in the Fall, causing the British pound to be under risk. On the other hand, U.S. Federal Reserve (FRS) politicians are giving comments about keeping terminal rate raising and helping the U.S. dollar to stay strong.

On Monday, John Cunliffe, Deputy Governor of the Bank of England (BoE), is expected to have a speech. He is waited for explanations due to the absence of any high-level data releases in the United States economic report.
