GBP Futures: bearish with caution
|Open interest in GBP futures markets shrunk for the third session in a row on Thursday, this time by just 293 contracts as per advanced data from CME Group. Volume, instead, rose by almost 41.8K contracts, extending the erratic performance.

Cable accelerated its correction lower on Thursday on the back of a dovish BoE. The lack of a clear direction in volume along with irrelevant figures from open interest in past sessions opens the door for some consolidation in the near term although a deeper retracement to sub-1.2800 levels should not be ruled out.
