24-hour view: “Yesterday, we highlighted that GBP ‘could dip below 1.3850’ but we were of the view that ‘1.3810 is not expected to come under threat’. However, GBP briefly dropped to 1.3809 before snapping back up to end the day little changed at 1.3895 (-0.04%). The sharp bounce from the low appears to be running ahead of itself and GBP is unlikely to strengthen much further. GBP is more likely to consolidate and trade between 1.3840 and 1.3930.”
