FOREX: Price Action Consistent with GBP Demand, USD Sales into 4pm London
USD reversal holds in recent trade, helping form a notable intraday reversal in the likes of EURUSD, USDCNH and - in particular - GBPUSD.
- Price action is consistent with some GBP buying and USD sales into the 4pm WMR fix, and while the rally in GBPUSD does put the pair close to 50 pips off intraday lows, the rally is still well short of AM highs into 1.3155 and yesterday's 1.3184.
- Futures volumes are consistent with a pick-up in interest for GBP as the spot rate recovered off lows - and the tail-off of activity as the rate stalls into 1.3140 further supports the view that the move was flow-related.
- We noted earlier today that dips in EURGBP remain well supported around the prior breakout level at 0.8769, highlighting the dominant uptrend. The next topside target remains at 0.8875, the April 2023 high.

US TSYS/OVERNIGHT REPO: Secured Rates Ticked Up Monday, Set To Stay Elevated
Secured rates ticked up on Monday Nov 10 (data was published this morning by the NY Fed which alongside rate markets was closed Tuesday due to the Veterans Day holiday).
- SOFR rose 2bp (3.95%) with TGCR up 4bp (3.93%), marking the highest both in absolute terms and relative to the Fed's administered rates (notably IORB which is 3.90%) since Nov 4 when October month-end pressures looked to have been dissipating.
- We also note that takeup of the Fed's Standing Repo Facility came in at $6.05B in this morning's operation, already the highest for a full day since Nov 3.
- Additionally, Treasury bill settlement will raise $14B in new cash today and $23B Thursday, applying some upside pressure to funding rates.
- As such it doesn't look like there will be much relief in rates today.
- Effective Fed funds were unchanged at 3.87% Monday.
