GBP/USD Analysis
After several consecutive days of strongly bullish moves, this pair has opened with a gap down and looking weak, although the key support at the trend line and the level at about 1.2400 have not broken down yet. The U.S. Dollar and stocks are both up and in the absence of any other news this is probably being driven by the fact that Clinton is maintaining a small but meaningful lead in the opinion polls of the American presidential election, in addition to the FBI announcing an effective end to their latest probe of that candidate.
There is nothing due today regarding either the GBP or the USD.
