GBP: Loosening of fiscal rules to allow for greater investment – ING
The Pound Sterling (GBP) continues to perform well, ING’s FX strategist Chris Turner notes.
Direction of travel continues for GBP/USD to be towards 1.35
“The majority of yesterday's drop in EUR/GBP was down to the miserable eurozone PMI data for September. In addition, the market is looking at some headlines coming out of the Labour Party conference in Liverpool. The focus here has been comments from Chancellor Rachel Reeves hinting at a loosening of fiscal rules which will allow for greater investment.”
“Speculation is growing that there could be a change in the accounting treatment for some of Labour's new institutions – such as the National Wealth and GB Energy – which could potentially unlock an extra £15bn of borrowing. So far the UK sovereign CDS has not widened on this and the concept of these plans seems credible so far.”
“But GBP has enough support at the moment without these potential investment plans. We do not see GBP/USD positioning as particularly stretched and given perhaps a softer dollar environment, the direction of travel continues to be towards 1.35. EUR/GBP has impressed by taking out support at 0.8340/45. Next stop, 0.8300.”
