> Sterling held near a 4-year high against the dollar as the weakness came from the dollar rather than from the pound. UK Q1 GDP was revised to 0.7%, and the Bank of England stayed focused on restrictive policy. Markets were watching the upcoming eurozone inflation data and speeches by BoE officials.
