GBP/USD testing support at 1.5400
Fxstreet.com (Edinburgh) - Renewed selling interest is now surrounding the sterling on Wednesday, dragging the GBP/USD to another test of the key support at 1.5400.
GBP/USD focus on UK events
Despite the absence of relevant results from the British economy, market participants will be closely following (soon-ex-to-be) BoE’s Governor M.King’s speech, ahead of the Financial Stability Report and the Government Spending Review. Strategists G.Yu and G.Berry at UBS commented, “There is a strong support at 1.5292, which is expected to hold on losing basis. Resistance is at 1.5500 ahead of 1.5596”.
GBP/USD levels to watch
As of writing, the pair is down 0.08% at 1.5411 with the immediate support at 1.5397 (low Jun.25) followed by 1.5343 (low Jun.24) and then 1.5300 (psychological level). On the flip side, a break above 1.5442 (high Jun.26) would open the door to 1.5480 (high Jun.25) and finally 1.5500 (psychological level).
