Under pressure

The pair managed to rise back above 1.0700 after the Brexit shock and yesterday it approached 1.0900 but the really found resistance and pulled back. A few hours ago it started to decline and accelerated the movement, erasing yesterday’s gains.

Recently it printed a fresh 2-day low at 1.0808 and it was trading around 1.0810/15, holding a bearish tone amid a stronger Swiss franc across the board. The Swissy was showing resilience in the market despite rising equity prices.
