Quantitative tightening

GBPUSD trading plan:

The Bank of England set out operational details of its plans to start selling some of the 19.3 billion pounds of long-dated and index-linked gilts which it bought from Sept. 28 to Oct. 14 to stabilise financial markets. The BoE is keen to sell in a "timely" way the bonds it bought to halt a fire sale of assets by British pension funds, which was triggered by a slump in bond prices after then-finance minister Kwasi Kwarteng's Sept. 23 mini-budget. The central bank had previously said sales would begin in the week starting Nov. 29, and that the volume sold would depend on demand from investors - in contrast to its fixed auction schedule to sell gilts bought for quantitative easing purposes.

Investment idea: buy 1.2040 and take profit 1.2105.
