GBP/USD holds above 1.26. Economists at Scotiabank analyze the pair’s outlook.
Weakness through 1.2625 ahead of the weekend will signal another run at the figure at least.
Loss of (minor) support around 1.2600/1.2605 should see Cable losses extend towards the mid-1.25s.
Resistance is 1.2665/1.2675.
EUR/GBP continued its sharp retreat to test 0.86, the lowest since mid-September. More GBP outperformance looks likely here after the Pound’s sloid, late November reversal against the EUR.
