Cable is expected to gravitate between 1.3080 and 1.3280 in the next 1-3 weeks, according to FX Strategists at UOB Group.

Key Quotes

24-hour view: “We highlighted yesterday that the up-move in GBP appears to be running ahead of itself but a “test of 1.3220 would not be surprising”. GBP rose to a high of 1.3227 but the up-move was short-lived. Despite the pullback from the high, the undertone has improved even though any advance from here is unlikely to move clearly beyond 1.3255 (1.3230 is already quite a strong resistance). Support is at 1.3180 but the stronger level is at 1.3155”.

Next 1-3 weeks: “GBP slipped to a low of 1.3087 last Friday but rebounded strongly and ended the day on a positive note. While the undertone has weakened somewhat, we continue to hold a neutral view for this pair. The current movement is viewed as part of a consolidation phase even though the immediate bias is for GBP to edge lower and test the bottom of the expected 1.3080/1.3280 consolidation range. At this stage, a sustained move below this level is not expected”.

Is Gold about to enter its biggest bull run since 2020?

Gold has stormed back into the spotlight and its next move could leave late buyers chasing. On August 5, the yellow metal surged almost 7% – roughly $174 – to close near $4,308 an ounce, posting one of its biggest daily advances in recent history. A weaker U.S dollar, falling Treasury yields, changing Federal Reserve expectations and renewed safe-haven demand all struck at once.

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
