GBP/USD closed the second straight day in positive territory on Tuesday despite losing its bullish momentum near 1.31. The pair is moving sideways near the mid-1.30s ahead of the all-important Fed rate decision. In absence of a major upside surprise, the cable should remain above 1.30, economists at ING report.
“The pound should continue to find some modest support from the tentative optimism around military de-escalation in Ukraine. Interestingly, GBP is struggling to recoup the war-related losses, unlike other European currencies.”
“At Thursday’s Bank of England meeting, a rate hike combined with more hawkish language could allow the pound to play catch-up with the benign market environment and trigger some EUR/GBP weakness.”
“Barring a major upside surprise in the FOMC Dot Plots today, cable should hold above 1.3000 for another session.”
