Sterling Diggs lower and US Dollar Inches Higher, Eyes on BOE Rates Decision
GBP/USD has extended the bearish momentum today for the 13 consecutive session and currently digging for a deeper hole other than today's 1.2109 low. Although a clear sky is waving ahead of Sterling given a green light by UK Parliament to PM May to release article 50 not longer than 31 March, another player ( US Dollar ) continues to pressure British Pound today with a 101.52 high and US Index is currently clawing for additional gains. on the other hand, other news is that PM May will reject the Scottish First Minister Sturgeon's demand for a second referendum in the next two years. This was coming from unidentified government sources and reported by The Times.
The main Focus for GBP now is what is coming, between US Fed and BOE interest rate decisions. Forecasts are highly that US Fed are moving along with additional 0.25% hike to current 0.57%, and Bank of England to lo leave interests at current 0.25% which will boost US Dollar, leaving Sterling vulnerable for strong US Index levels and GFP/USD will suffocate with additional declines.
