New era of pound
The pound stepped on the warpath, and it’s going to be an impressive show, as everybody loves USD now, but everybody understands the oversold nature of the poor cable. The market seems to outgrow the Scotland Independence saga, and started to realize that polls may say anything, but in reality very few people think that Edinburg will really leave London. And this explains the recent swift surge of the cable. Now, the key test for the pair may be in form of the looming US Retail Sales report. If the pound manages to survive even positive numbers, and stay above 1.62, it could be a sign of new era of the GBP recovery.
