Sterling rose versus the dollar and the euro as investors assessed the Bank of England's monetary policy path after recent mixed signals from policymakers. The pound dropped late last week and on Monday versus the greenback as Governor Andrew Bailey said that inflation was broadly declining in line with BoE forecasts, which would indicate that interest rates might fall more quickly than the market currently expects.
