Sterling has underperformed in recent sessions. Economists at UBS analyze GBP outlook.
Range trading against the USD
In a relative space, the UK economy does not look exceptionally weak, moreover, interest rates are high, which should give some support to the pairing at these levels. With this yield-growth mix in mind, we expect GBP/USD to be more range-bound.
To the downside, we see good support at 1.19, while to the upside we look for a top at 1.26.
