Likely to trade between 1.2520 and 1.2670
24-HOUR VIEW: "After GBP dropped sharply last Thursday, we indicated that 'while the rapid drop could extend, oversold conditions suggest any decline is likely part of a lower 1.2570/1.2640 range.' Although GBP traded in a lower range than expected (1.2560/1.2621), there has been no increase in downward momentum. Today, we continue to expect GBP to trade in a range, likely between 1.2570 and 1.2630."
1-3 WEEKS VIEW: "We highlighted last Friday (28 Feb, spot at 1.2600) that 'the two-week GBP strength has ended.' We also highlighted that 'the current price movements are likely part of a range trading phase, and for the time being, we expect GBP to trade between 1.2520 and 1.2670.' There is no change in our view."
