Sterling Extends Gains Amid Fiscal Turnaround, Buoyed Risk Sentiment

GBP
  • Cable has extended gains throughout Monday’s session and momentum has been building in most recent trade as GBPUSD rises back above 1.14 and is seen up 2.27% from Friday’s close.
  • Price action may have been exacerbated by the break of the 2022 highs in GBPJPY at 168.72, with the pair now trading at the best levels since February 2016.
  • Technically for cable the bounce from last Wednesday's 1.0924 low strongly indicates that the recent move lower between Oct 5 - 12 appears to be a correction. A continuation higher would signal scope for a test and possible breach of 1.1495, the Oct 5 high and bull trigger.
  • The key risk event for UK markets is Wednesday’s release of September inflation, before the next Bank of England decision which is scheduled for Nov 03.
