GBP: Banks & Leveraged Names Net Buyers; Add On Dips Into An Agreement, Sell The News On Confirmation – Citi

As negotiations continue towards a Brexit deal, what is the forecast for GBP/USD?

Here is their view, courtesy of eFXdata:

Citi maintains a bullish bias on GBP on the prospects of a Brexit trade deal.

CitiFX Strategy likes adding on dips in GBP into an agreement but is inclined to “sell the news” on confirmation as bigger picture risks remain for the UK….On the downside, watch 1.3300 again, and 1.3200 below here. Beyond here, there is strong support at 1.3070-80, where the 55d and 100d MAs coincide ahead of the 1.30 level,” Citi notes.

“Flows remain elevated too with our e-Trading colleagues noting 20% higher than average flows vs just under 1.9 times usual interbank volumes yesterday.  Banks and leveraged names were net buyers of GBP on platform,” Citi adds.
