The GBP/USD pair trades flat at 1.5406, retreating from 1.5437 highs. The GPB/USD pair defends mild gains and trades muted as the risk aversion seen during Asia seems to have waned with the risk currency in the US dollar recovering lost ground, as traders continue to digest the recent updates from the weekend’s Jackson Hole gathering.

The focus over the weekend was on the Jackson Hole Symposium, with policymakers who spoke at the annual retreat making it clear they wanted to keep their options open, although the rate hike cravings appeared to have died down.
