GBP Mid-day Analysis

The Pound remains technically off balance and the view toward the UK economy is still some what suspect. While there is hope that the BOE will eventually shift into a hawkish posture, that shift is unlikely in theshort term unless numbers improve significantly. In the near term, the path of least resistance remains down andwe can’t argue against a return to the early October lows of 1.5941 and perhaps even 1.5888 in the event that UKdata is the least bit soft in the week ahead.
