“We do not expect any policy change at tomorrow’s BoE meeting.”
“Data today was encouraging, with services PMI rising to 57.2, supporting the composite back to 56.7.”
“We see value in short EURGBP positions at current levels 0.7521, looking for a test back down to 0.7420 with a stop at 0.7601.”
“GBPUSD short‐term technicals: mixed—with a test for a bullish turn the ability of GBP to break above its recent range of 1.4952 to 1.5274. Such a break would open up a test to the 50‐day MA at 1.5397. However, technical studies in general are fairly mixed, warning of an ongoing range trading environment.”
