With that terrible GDP figure I dont think BOE is going to stop QE next month. so further sterling downside I guess.

why would the pound bounce back??? the driver of the pound for now is interest rates and qe which is directly linked to economic activity. do u honestly think traders will start bidding higher at these levels? i see 160 next week. equities seem lower to me next week as fund managers are starting to repatriate back to cash as markets look overbought. do not concentrate on earnings either.

stocks will bounce back next week and so will GBP - if it can drop 400 pips in a day - it can come back pretty soon too.

Hi Ashraf,

Was interacting with an analyst who basically tracks the history of stock indexes. The indexes have risen in last week of Oct and first week of Nov during last 10 years. Sort of pre xmas buying!!

My query is if there is rise in stock indexes, then will GBPUSD pull back and to what level?/

Thanks

Bit of a hesitation/pullback in cable. Am holding onto a short. We'll see if it can collapse again...keeping my eye on equities today along with overall dollar sentiment.

Ashraf, thoughts?

sorry not too sure although i doubt it would go much higher. the downside to sterling is at this stage likely to be higher than downside on yen. so think about it.

Spec if your right where do you see GBP/JPY at yearend. Despite all the yen selling Ashraf thinks its still a hold. I hope he is right.

the sterling retracement to sub 1.60 is just about to start. As expected data worst that projected by many. Sterling's bear will continue and hit sub $1.50 year end.
