FXStreet (Guatemala) – Eric Theoret, CFA, CMT FX Strategist at Scotiabank explained that near term risk lies with the broader tone and influence of relative policy for GBP/USD.
Key Quotes:
“With vulnerability to a highly sensitive Fed view.”
“Domestically, we look to the release of RICS house price figures at 7:00pm EST, followed by Thursday’s BoE policy meeting. Consensus expects a hold, with the September minutes highlighting an 8-1 hold-hike voting outcome.”
“GBP/USD short-term technicals: bullish, with caution.”
“Following a material break above the 50% retracement of the April June rally around 1.5250 momentum signals are neutral and short-term MA’s hint to the potential for near term resistance as we consider the 21 day MA at 1.5315”.
