CME Group’s flash data for GBP futures markets noted investors added nearly 29K contracts to their open interest positions on Tuesday, recording the second build in a row. On the opposite direction, volume reversed two straight builds and shrunk by around 32.3K contracts.

Against this backdrop, another visit to YTD lows in the 1.2730 area should not be surprising.
