GBP: Reversal Off Lows in Quiet Market Shows Underlying Bull Theme Intact

Jul-07 14:48

GBP/USD now heads into the Monday close broadly flat - erasing weakness posted below the NFP low at 1.3576. This intraday reversal plays further into the view that an underlying bull cycle in GBPUSD remains at play.

  • Support at the 20-day EMA of 1.3602 remains key at the close - the level has been pierced, but a clear break would signal scope for a deeper correction towards 1.3462.
  • Monthly GDP data will be more carefully watched than usual this week, with the April release surprisingly coming in at -0.3%, and another weak reading for May would add to concerns of a negative second quarter.
  • BoE comms are expected to be quieter this week: Breeden speaks on Thursday on climate risks, while the Wednesday Financial Stability Report is unlikely to reference the monetary policy path directly.
