Cable is trying to steady after its sharp sell-off, up at 1.6455 from a session low 1.6440.

The latest Bank of England minutes are up in about 7 minutes. The market will be interested to see whether there was a full 9-0 consensus among the MPC members to extend QE. A lack of consensus could serve to undermine sterling a little further,

Technical supports 1.6430 and 1.6400/10.
