The pound advanced against its major counterparts in the European session on Tuesday, as traders awaited a slew of central bank decisions as well as U.K. inflation data for more clues on the policy outlook.

The Federal Reserve will begin its two-day policy meeting later today, with the markets widely expecting the central bank to keep rates on hold when it delivers its decision on Wednesday.

The pound rose to a 4-day high of 1.1125 against the franc, up from an early low of 1.1085. The pound may challenge resistance around the 1.13 level.

The pound rebounded to 0.8524 against the euro, from a previous multi-week low of 0.8536. Next key resistance for the currency may be located around the 0.84 level.
