Pound Sends Message On Budget


Morning Report: 07.00 London

• This morning, the pound is still wobbly after heavy selling yesterday following the summer budget. Market traders evidently found items to dislike, sending the pound crashing down against the yen and other currencies.

                           


• Elsewhere, the Australian dollar is on the rise as Chinese equities find their feet thanks to strict stock market controls.

                           


• The yen pairs are on the rise as the risk on/risk off balance tilts towards the positive.

                           

• A stronger euro is partly behind this.


• The dollar index is on the back foot, with the S&P 500 on the rise.                                                                                 
                                  

                           

Coming up today:

• Coming up today we have the official UK bank lending rate.

• Later this afternoon we have US unemployment claims, followed at 15.15 by FOMC member Brainard speaking.
                           
Trade Idea:

The euro has had a good run this week, but we are now entering another weekend of deadlines. Yesterday the pound was hit for six, but today we could see an unwinding of those positions.

                                  

As such there could be some downside potential for the EUR/GBP and a LOWER trade is a good way to play this.
             
A LOWER trade predicting that the EUR/GBP will close below 0.7200 in 7 days time could return 110% if successful.
