GBP recovers recent losses – Scotiabank
|
Pound Sterling (GBP) is up a modest 0.5% vs. the US Dollar (USD) and retracing a portion of its recent losses, Scotiabank's Chief FX Strategist Shaun Osborne notes on Wednesday.
GBP remains stuck in a range
"There have been no major domestic data releases though markets have focused on comments from the Bank of England and specifically the use of leverage among investment firms in amplifying risks during periods of market dislocation. Domestic trade and industrial production data are set for release on Friday."
"GBP/USD’s sharp reversal of last week’s delivered a break of its one-month range and a push to fresh local lows in the mid/lower-1.28s. The RSI has drifted below 50, in bearish territory, and there doesn’t appear to be any clear support ahead of the lower 1.27s."
