Key Quotes

“Immediate risk is on the upside even though GBP is unlikely able to maintain pace of its current up-move.”

“The outlook for GBP is deemed as ‘positive’ but at this stage, we expect 1.3160 to offer solid resistance (key and major mid-term resistance is near last month’s top of 1.3220).”

“On the downside, only a break of the 1.2960 ‘key support’ would indicate that a short-term top is in place.”
