FxWirePro: GBP/USD resumes downside after BoE's Broadbent speech, scope for further downside

  • GBP/USD declined on Tuesday as sterling attracted sellers after a speech by Bank of England Deputy Governor Ben Broadbent left the outlook for interest rates unanswered.
     
  • In a speech that focused on the benefits of globalisation, Broadbent warned that less trade with the EU would damage Britain's comparative advantage in exports of financial and business services. 
     
  • Sterling weakened against dollar to the day's low of $1.2838 from $1.2920 after the speech, reversing earlier gains.
     
  • The ongoing weakness is set to continue for this pair as the resistance level at 1.2953 is likely to act as strong barrier to the bulls and bring a further decline towards lower levels.
     
  • To the upside, immediate resistance can be seen at 1.2894, a break above this level would expose the cable to next resistance level at 1.2927 levels.
     
  • To the downside strong support can be seen at 1.2838, a break below at this level will open the door towards next level at 1.2800.
