  • The early mover on the open, was the Pound, after UK GDP miss consensus, and Cable fell towards the highlighted level at 1.2446, the September low and lowest level since the start of June.
  • Despite printing a 1.2442 low, that area has held and Cable is now circa 20 pips of the low, at the time of typing.
  • Looking across G10, the Pound is still mixed, leading gains against the SEK, up 0.23%, and now just down 0.14% vs the Dollar.
  • EURUSD stays in that 6 sessions range of 1.0686/1.0769, as market participants await the ECB Tomorrow.
  • Given the lack of risk events and data, large options expiry may have played a role in keeping the pair within ranges.
