GBP/USD Analysis

This pair has not really done very much over the past few days, and may finally be settling down into a more normal volatility range between about 1.3200 and 1.3400. If so there are unlikely to be any good trading opportunities until we get some movements that are more dramatic.

There is a very interesting and uncertain political situation in the U.K. now, with no guarantee that Brexit will eventually be implemented in spite of its victory in the vote and that all the contenders for the post of next Prime Minister say that it will happen. It might be that this uncertainty will push the GBP around in some wild swings again: don’t be certain that the market has priced in Brexit

Concerning the GBP, there will be a release of Construction PMI data at 9:30am London time. There is nothing due regarding the USD, as it is a public holiday in the U.S.A.
