UK Pound Sterling / United States Dollar


GBPUSD: Coming off last weeks low of 1.6220 up towards 1.6400 to close the week, we see this rally most likely to continue to start this week with resistance at 1.6450,1.6500 and 1.6530. With not much strength from the GBP we see the move up to have little follow through. Recommendation: Neutral, we will wait for rally to slow and hold up around 1.6500.
