GBP is likely to trade in a 1.2900/1.3030 range
24-HOUR VIEW: “The sharp rise in GBP that sent it to a high of 1.3043 was surprising (we were expecting range trading). GBP was unable to hold on to its gains, as it plunged today. The outlook is unclear after the wide fluctuations. Further choppy trading is not ruled, likely within a broad 1.2910/1.3040 range.”

The price action provides no fresh clues, and we continue to expect GBP to trade in a 1.2900/1.3030 range.”
