GBP/USD holds last week’s range in quiet trade – Scotiabank

The Pound Sterling (GBP) is up modestly on the day versus a generally softer USD, Scotiabank's Chief FX Strategist Shaun Osborne notes.
GBP/USD modestly firmer
"The UK, like everyone else, is waiting to see what emerges from the early days of the new Trump term on trade. The US is a key export market for the UK but trade flows are strongly services-oriented which may leave the UK a little less susceptible to tariff action."
"Cable is holding last week’s trading range. Intraday price action suggests good support on dips to the upper 1.21 area and broader price action last week suggested the GBP decline may have stalled. A positive week for the GBP this week will lift prospects for a push back towards 1.23/1.24."
