GBP/USD forecast: Cable rebounds as US dollar eases amid firmer risk appetite

A firmer risk tone owing to positive company earnings, slight easing of bond yields and technical selling all weighed on the US dollar.

This should keep the ongoing GBP/USD forecast mildly bearish, despite today’s recovery in the cable.

We have some important data from the UK, though.
