GBP/USD has been rejected at day's high by 1.5445, remains largely subdued following the release of UK construction sector activity report 

  • Markit/CIPS construction PMI slowed again in October to 58.8, down from the previous month's 59.9, and stood a tad weaker than expectation (58.9)
     
  • The pound remains largely muted, stuck between 1.5929 and 1.5107 since May 2015 (6 months), opened Tuesday 1.5416, traded range-bound between 1.5410-28 in Asia, currently at 1.5425
     
  • Prices peaked at 1.5498 on Monday and corrected back inside the cloud, daily slow stochs are approaching overbought levels
     
  • Daily cloud limits upside in cable, the pair has not been significantly above the cloud since Aug when 1.5820 was the peak
     
  • Sentiment across European stocks and US factory orders data due later in the day will likely influence further moves in the major
