The US Federal Reserve FOMC announce their latest interest rate decision later today and we've seen some US$ demand on the run-in.
GBPUSD yesterday fell to once again test the 1.3350 support area I've highlighted a few times lately. The aversion of a Brexit Withdrawal Bill revolt saw a sharp rally back above 1.3400 but the 1.3420-30 area that I've also highlighted once again proved a sticking point and down we went again to now post fresh lows of 1.3310 this morning after some fairly neutral UK inflation data.Immediate support/buying now into 1.3300,then 1.3280 and the larger 1.3240-50 line in the sand. Sellers around 1.3350, then 1.3380-00 with the 1.3420-30 line and then 1.3450 still expected to cap for the moment.
Keep selling those rallies as we continue to range-trade but don't get greedy.
EURGBP has been up again to test 0.8820 sell interest (GBPEUR down to 1.1340) after holding 0.8780. Buyers poised there still then 0.8750 and 0.8730 still. Sellers between 0.8820-30 again then 0.8850. Overall the Pound remains a little fragile but going nowhere in a real hurry.
