Key Quotes

“Until mid-May sterling remained in good shape even as expectations for a BoE rate hike are pushed back to 2016. A correction kicked in at the end of May.”

“EUR/GBP set a rebound top at 0.7386 at the end of last week. As EUR/GBP approached a first important resistance (0.7483) we reinstalled a cautious sell-on-upticks approach. We maintain this strategy, but are disappointed by yesterday’s price action. Stop-loss protection beyond 0.7483 is warranted.”
