The post GBP finds bargain hunters on weakness to near 1.30 – Scotiabank appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

The Pound Sterling (GBP) continues to draw firm support on softness through the low 1.30s and has rebounded quite firmly from the intraday low again today, Scotiabank’s Chief FX Strategist Shaun Osborne notes. GBP is trying to bottom out “UK data showed only moderate progress on elevated wages (Average Weekly Earnings dipped to 3.8% in August from an upwardly revised 4.1%). While jobless claims rose a little more than expected. Swaps pricing continue to suggest a 25bps cut by the BoE in November is all but a done deal though.” “GBP price action is showing some signs of trying to bottom out, at least in the short run. The intraday chart suggests a “rounded low” base may be developing as bargain-hunters take advantage of GBP dips to the low 1.30s. Solid demand off the European low suggests a firm intraday base at least at 1.3030/35.” “Resistance is 1.3115 and 1.3130; gains through the latter may add to short-term upward momentum.” Source: https://www.fxstreet.com/news/gbp-finds-bargain-hunters-on-weakness-to-near-130-202410151201
