GBP/USD looking for a close in the 1.6000’s
FXstreet.com (London) - GBP/USD has had a bounce from 1.5860/90 support and is up 0.41% at 1.6041.
GBP/USD would be looking for a close above 1.5980 for a broader move in the 1.6050/75 area while on the data, services PMI were in line with consensus. The NIESR report suggests the BOE may not wait for 7% unemployment before hiking and this too has had some impact. ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI (Oct) are coming up from the US a little later on while the market anticipates BoE Thursday and NFP’s at the end of the week. Key supports remain in the September break up points, 1.5935 1.5894 and 1.5844.
