> Sterling fell after the Bank of England's 6-3 hold despite three members voting for a hike, with GBP/USD still about 0.2% higher on the day near 1.3394. Rabobank said the guidance was less hawkish than the vote suggested. The MPC said it was content to wait for clearer evidence of second-round inflation.
