GBPUSD: 1.2737
Sterling is lower today but remains within the recent 1.2700/1.2820 (today; 1.2722/1.2813) range while keeping an eye on the Brexit talks. BOE Governor, Mark Carney will also be speaking today and may cause some volatility.
Technically, the outlook remains much the same as before, with the topside likely to see sellers heading into the 1.2800/17 area, which capped it last week, but above which could then head on to 1.2840 and then eventually on towards 1.2900.
Below the session low, the initial support is at 1.2690/1.2700. Below there could see a run back to the recent lows at around 1.2636/40 although the momentum indicators are generally neutral and a choppy session, close to current levels, would not surprise. Further out, below the 100 DMA, further support would arrive at 1.2600 and then at 1.2575 and 1.2514, which was the low seen on the announcement of the election in April. Below that would head towards 1.2465/70 although that remains some way off.
