GBP/USD: 1.5560 key near term resistance - UOB

FXStreet (Guatemala) - Analysts at UOB Group have a neutral outlook for GBP/USD on a 1-3 week time frame.

Key Quotes:

"Unconvinced that the current movement is the start of a sustained rally. While the outlook for GBP has certainly improved with the unexpected break above 1.5510, we are unconvinced that the current movement is the start of a sustained rally.

From here, only a break above 1.5560 would indicate further GBP strength to 1.5650 followed by the 1.5820 peak seen in late August. That said, the immediate risk is on the upside and only a move back below 1.5450 would indicate that upward pressure has eased."

The decision, the FOMC statement and Yellen’s press conference are likely to trigger volatility across financial markets.
