UK final August Services and Composite PMI data were revised modestly higher to 53.7 and 53.8 (from 53.3 and 53.4 respectively), Scotiabank’s Chief FX Strategist Shaun Osborne notes.
GBP consolidates in low 1.31 range
“Details were constructive as well. Improved sentiment is boosting spending and hiring, the surveys suggest. Somewhat stronger economic momentum will not stop BoE rate cuts but the process of easing is likely to be relatively slower than the Bank’s major central bank peers. Sterling is virtually unchanged on the session today.”
“A narrow, inside range is potentially developing on the daily chart while the intraday chart suggests the pound is trying to break above the short-term bear trend (1.3105) off of last week’s high for Cable. A break above 1.3155 would add to near-term momentum for the pound. Support is 1.3090/00.”
