Pound nudges ahead in quiet trading

Morning Report: 08.30 London

• As is typical of most pre Christmas trading, markets appear to be winding down with significant movement to speak of. Stock markets have continued their bull run, with the S&P 500 posting another small gain this morning.
 

  

• The pound is also continuing to perform well, continuing some of the strength seen last week.

  


Coming up today:


• Coming up today we have Canadian GDP, with a gain of 0.1% expected. US personal spending is released at the same time.

• Revised UoM consumer sentiment follows at 14.55 in a generally quiet day.

Trade Idea:

• The pound up trend is worthy of note while it remains in a non over bought state. There could be some more upside to come between now and the new year.

                              

A HIGHER trade predicting that the GBP/USD closes above 1.6375 on new years day for a potential return of 119%.

This is presented as an idea to stimulate fixed odds financial betting ideas and is not financial advice.

  • The pound is holding yesterday’s gains, especially against the euro on the back of better than expected unemployment data.
  • The sell off is gathering pace, but as of yet is not in extreme over sold territory which could mean more downside to come.
