Traders looking to get bullish on the British pound ahead of Thursday’s Bank of England meeting might want to try taking the dollar out of the equation, analysts said. Sterling GBPUSD, -0.4251% hovered around a 7-month low versus the dollar ahead of the central bank meeting, thanks in part to a nearly relentless rally by the U.S. currency that began back in April.To get around that, traders looking for a more hawkish tone from the Bank of England might look to the euro-sterling EURGBP, -0.0114% pair, which is also seen as a more accurate Brexit risk barometer, analysts said. The euro was up slightly against the pound on Thursday, gaining 0.2% to £0.8796. In the month so far, the pound is little changed against its continental rival. In the year to date, it’s up 1.1% against the euro, according to FactSet.via
