GBP/USD remains broadly rangebound. Economists at Scotiabank analyze Cable’s outlook.
The 1.2600/1.2825 range may endure for now
The GBP is trading with a softer undertone intraday after peaking around 1.2720 twice in the past 24 hours.
Short-term trend oscillators are bearish which may help drive spot to test support at 1.2660/1.2665. A break below here should see Cable retest the broader range low and key support at 1.2600.
Very weak longer run trend studies suggest the 1.2600/1.2825 range may endure for now, however.
