GBP/USD Forecast 06/08: Stuck In Choppy Range (Chart)
- The British Pound continues to be very choppy against the US dollar as markets at the moment don't seem to have anywhere to be. After all, we are in the dead of summer and that means volatility and volume are going to dry up when it comes to the currency markets, with most currency traders focusing on vacation, and not things like interest rate differential or central bank movement.
Speaking of central banks, the Federal Reserve continues to argue with the market. The Fed Funds Futures market suggests that the Federal Reserve is going to cut several times this year, while the Federal Reserve seems to think otherwise. This has been the argument that we have seen for about a year now, as traders only know loose monetary policy, it's not a huge surprise to see that they are struggling to remember how life was 20 years ago. There was a point where the Federal Reserve had higher interest rates than many other countries, and it wasn't as if they cut rates just to make Wall Street happy. There had to be economic data leaning in that direction.

However, if the economic situation gets worse in the United States, that typically means that things get worse elsewhere as well. In that environment, the US dollar quite often gets a bit of a boost after the initial shock, because people start to look at things like US Treasuries in order to protect their wealth. In that environment, foreigners have to sell their currency and buy US dollars so therefore it's a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Because of this, I am looking for signs of exhaustion to start shorting, as long as we stay below the 1.3350 level above. Underneath, we have the 1.3135 level offering support.Ready to trade our daily Forex GBP/USD analysis ? We've made this UK forex brokers list for you to check out.
