ForexGen | Euro, British Pound Break Higher - Further Gains Likely
The euro and British pound surged higher on Tuesday, breaking above key resistance points.
Looking ahead to the next 24 hours, the second reading of third quarter UK GDP is anticipated to confirm that the economy is experiencing its worst slowdown since 1990-1991. Indeed, the advanced results showed that GDP fell 0.5 percent in the third quarter from the previous quarter, following a complete stagnation. This deterioration comes as the result of a combination of restrictive monetary policy in the UK through mid-2008 along with the collapse of the housing sector and weakening domestic and foreign demand. If GDP happens to fall more than forecasted, the news could weigh on the British pound as it would add to speculation that the Bank of England will cut rates aggressively next week.
However, if the data meets expectations, there may be little reaction in the forex markets, allowing the British pound to continue its ascent toward 1.5850.
