GBP/USD Analysis
This pair is being dragged down and fell quite strongly at the end of last week. This was due partially to a renewed strengthening of the USD but more due to weakness in the GBP, fuelled by opinion polls showing the forthcoming British election is going to end with not only an inconclusive result, but a result that will leave the parties practically unable to form any conceivable government. The pro-secession Scottish Nationalist Party is expected to do very well and this may also cast renewed doubt over the continued survival of the U.K. in its current form as a strong if minor world power.
The price is currently quite a long way from any key levels, the closest is former support likely to flip to resistance at 1.4683 above. There are no obvious support levels below before 1.4450 but of course 1.4500 might prove to be psychologically significant.
There are no high-impact events scheduled later today concerning either the GBP or the USD.
