FXStreet (Mumbai) - Offered at 1.5209 in Asia, the GBP/USD is back below 1.52 levels ahead of the European session after having suffered almost 400 pip loss last week.
Eyes Fed and BOE speak

UK will also feature speech of Jon Cunliffe, Deputy Governor for Financial Stability of BoE. Meanwhile, US personal spending and income are expected to rise 0.3% and 0.4% respectively in August. Ahead of the key events, the sentiment in the major European markets could offer cues to the GBP/USD pair.
