Sterling is a clear underperformer on the session, although Cable losses are moderate on the day and it is trading off the earlier low. Economists at Scotiabank analyze GBP outlook.
Sterling has rebounded from earlier session dip but the Pound still hit new, short-term cycle lows (back to its weakest since late May) and broader price patterns are bearish.
Trend resistance is capping GBP gains at 1.2400/1.2405. Gains above here in the short run may stabilize the Pound.
The broader bear trend remains well-entrenched across a range of timeframes which suggests Sterling losses are liable to extend – potentially back to the 1.20/1.21 area.
