The Pound loses its BoE hike bounce before Friday's US payrolls

The Bank of England (BoE) raised the UK's Bank Rate to 4% on Thursday, as the market had fully priced, and the Pound's six-session climb has stopped just above 1.3500. GBP/USD reached that level on Wednesday, its highest since mid-September, got there again on Thursday and is trading near 1.3450.
