GBP/USD – BEARISH BIAS – (1.3800-1.4400)

As can be seen from chart, the polls have tightened considerably and  if the momentum continues we may well see ‘Leave’ ahead in most polls by the day of the referendum next Thursday. If that is the case, we would expect GBP/USD to be trading below the 1.4000 level as investors’ fears escalate.

The crucial objective for ‘Remain’ must be to get the focus to shift back to the economy where they have been strongest. The big event in the week ahead will be the last live TV debate taking place in Wembley Arena on Tuesday 21st. That will be the last real opportunity for each side to make their case and may prove important in shaping the final ‘don’t knows’. The positive in terms of reduced market volatility is the fact that the FOMC has maintained a cautious approach to additional monetary easing and that may limit dollar buying in the run up to the referendum.
