GBP Mid-day Analysis

A big range up rally overnight failed to hold in the Pound but it should be noted that the Pound rally this week was accompanied by strong gains in volume and open interest. The Pound is seeing some support from the BOE hawkish threat that UK rates could still rise even if deflation is widely present. Perhaps the Pound is getting some support from Chinese stimulus, hopes of European stimulus and ideas that the Dollar is simply overpriced.
