Current price movements are likely part of a range trading phase
24-HOUR VIEW: "We pointed out yesterday that GBP 'is under mild downward pressure.' We expected GBP to edge lower, but we were of the view that 'any decline is likely limited to a test of 1.2880.' Our view turned out to be correct, as GBP dropped to a low of 1.2880 and then rebounded to end the day little changed at 1.2923 (+0.04%). The mild downward pressure appears to have faded. Today, we expect GBP to trade in a sideways range of 1.2885/1.2945."
1-3 WEEKS VIEW: "Our most recent narrative was from last Friday (28 Mar, spot at 1.2950), wherein 'the current price movements are likely part of a range trading phase, expected to be between 1.2850 and 1.3050.' There is no change in our view."
