FOREX: Solid Activity in FX Futures; Volumes Show GBP is the Active Leg

Oct-28 14:54
  • In contrast with yesterday, FX futures markets are considerably more active than average for this time of day, with solid activity in GBP, EUR and JPY markets all posting volumes higher-than-average for this time of day.
  • We've noted the drivers of the GBP pullback throughout the morning, and the latest breakout across GBPAUD (through 2.0244 to print new multi-month lows) and GBPCAD (through 1.8561 to new multi-week lows) is eye-catching - although both CAD and AUD Z5 futures are significantly more muted in terms of volumes - suggesting GBP remains the active leg of the trade.
  • That said, the solid equity market today (S&P 500 is now 1.4% up on the Friday close) is supporting both currencies - meaning 2.0146 is the next key GBPAUD level: the 61.8% retracement for the '24 - '25 upleg.
