08:38 13Nov09 MARKET TALK: GBP Gains Not Seen Sustainable

0838 GMT - The GBP may have recovered just about all the losses it made against the EUR after the BOE's dovish Inflation Report earlier this week. But, says RBC Capital Markets, "we are not convinced GBP's rebound is sustainable in an environment where the BOE still appears to be manipulating rate expectations lower." The next major hurdle for GBP is the minutes of this month's MPC meeting next Wednesday, the bank adds. GBP/USD now at $1.6669.

most of those sort of services you have to pay a subscription for

this one has live prices, but no headlines or stories to explain sudden movements:

this one has live prices, and stories, but i don't think it will have immediate reaction stories when there are sudden movements:

i'll always do my best to update when there are sudden drastic swings and try and explain why if I can...
