GBP/USD: Flat range but undertone remains soft – Scotiabank
Source Fxstreet
The Pound Sterling (GBP) is trading marginally lower on the day, reflecting the generally soft tone of the major currencies against the USD, Scotiabank’s Chief FX Strategist Shaun Osborne notes.
GBP consolidates in tight
“GBP is trading a bit lower on the day. GBP snap higher in the cross last week as bargain hunters fade EURGBP gains to the 0.84 area.”
“Cable is carving out a flat consolidation range on the intraday chart between 1.3060/1.3110. That is helping stabilize short-term trends but the broader undertone in GBPUSD remains negative, with a test of 1.30 support the main risk ahead.”
“Weakness below 1.30 on a sustained basis would increase chances of a deeper drop back to 1.27/1.28.”
