Trump says nothing to support the dollar: DXY dropping and approaches 2017 lows

GBP/USD has settled on the 1.22 handle after a rally from 1.2038 leading into Trump's pre-inauguration presser and a large bid in the 10-year auction that sent yields lower and the dollar pressured back to below the 102 handle in the DXY.

At Carney's testimony before the Treasury Select Committee earlier, he noted that the biggest risks to UK's financial stability are coming from the global economy, while the Brexit process has the capacity to amplify them.
