Sterling rebounds off its 5-month low of $1.5710 after BoEs Bean talks about the need to withdraw liquidity at the right time to avoid inflation. There were no other fundamentals to the GBP rebound aside from renewed risk appetite along with surging oil prices. Interim resistance stands at 1.5950, followed by 4-week trend resistance at $1.60.
