Focus on inflation report hearings
Bank of England Governor (BOE) Mark Carney is scheduled to testify to UK legislators on the Treasury Committee about the central bank's latest Inflation report. Comments on inflation and on the timing of the BOE liftoff could influence Sterling pairs.
Across the pond, the US Q3 GDP figure would hit the wires later today, which will be followed by the US consumer confidence and the regional manufacturing index.
