GBP/USD Analysis
The optimism over the near-term agreement between the Brexit parties had boosted the Pound. The pair had reached the 1.3175 resistance level in morning trades, its highest level in nearly two months. Technically, the general trend will remain bullish if the pair breaks above the 1.3000 psychological resistance. The lack of agreement between the EU and Britain will strongly hit the Pound. The International Monetary Fund (IMF), along with the Governor of the Bank of England, Carney, has joined the vote to warn of the dire consequences for the British economy if a trade agreement is not reached on the post-Brexit era.
Regarding the GBP, there will be the release of the of UK inflation data, CPI and PPI numbers. Regarding the USD, there will be the release of the Building Permits data.
