GBP/USD: Extends gains to near mid-1.32s - Scotiabank

update 2024.08.27 23:45

The Pound Sterling pushed higher to near 1.3250 in overnight trade before easing back, Scotiabank's Chief FX Strategist Shaun Osborne notes

Cable is at risk of testing trend support 1.3200/05

"UK Gilts are underperforming moderately, giving the pound some modest yield support but the steady ramp up in Cable from the start of Asian trade suggests a buy program was behind the gains rather than anything fundamental. The BRC's Shop Price Index fell in Y/Y terms (-0.3%) for the first time in close to three years, suggesting easing inflationary UK pressures."

"GBP's bull trend remains resilient after overnight gains extended to the mid-1.32s. The drift off the high is starting to look a minor negative for the pound, however, and suggests Cable is at risk of slipping back a little more intraday now to test trend support 1.3200/05. Support below here sits at 1.3125.
