I didn\u2019t bother making a forecast since there could be some surprises in the minutes. If the voting ends up 8-2, the pound will head to 1.5285.<\/p>\n<div class=\"gray-area\">\n<div class=\"gray-area__wrap \">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.alpari.ru\/data\/media\/trunk\/images\/Analytics\/2015\/12\/gbp_101215.png\" alt=\"Hourly Graph\" width=\"650\" height=\"660\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"s_invisible_yes\">Source: alpari.com, &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/alpari.com\/en\/analytics\/reviews\/market_sessions\/11381_10122015\/\">Pound\/Dollar: Waiting for BoE\u2019s Minutes<\/a>&#8220;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"s_invisible_yes\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"s_invisible_yes\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"s_invisible_yes\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"s_invisible_yes\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"s_invisible_yes\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By\u00a0Vladislav Antonov, Alpari I was ready for the pound to strengthen yesterday, but not for as much as it did.
