GBP/USD on the back foot after a failed recovery attempt
FXStreet (Moscow) - GBP/USD tried to recover early in Asia but managed to climb only to 1.6332 before making a U-turn and touching an intraday low at 1.6303; currently the pair is trading at 1.6306, marginally on the day.
Back on the sloping path
GBP/USD lived through another negative day on Thursday. The pair touched the low at 1.6276, but managed to close above 1.6300 pivot. GBP/USD is sensitive to general USD factors, which makes it vulnerable to new losses as the American currency is growing across the board and there are no sights of impending changes. No GBP-related data is scheduled for today, thus US GDP data would keep the markets at the edge of the seat. Positive release is likely to support USD growth story. In this case GBP/USD might move towards the initial support at 1.6276 (yesterday’s low) that is followed by 1.6267 (previous week’s open). The resistance is seen at Asian high of 1.6332 and yesterday’s open at 1.6341
strong>What are today’s key GBP/USD levels?
