@redstone: it's a regular FED meeting and IF they rise discount rate it will be most likely after today's close and it will be accompanied by apparent price moves ;)

@Desi: the 1.53 has been pierced briefly today but we stay sub 1.53 so far. Personally I'm short, mainly because the positive US data but there is now the possibility of Conservative Party win which should be GBP positive if I understand it correctly.

Looking as though any announcement will be after the U.S markets close.

@redstone: it's hard to say until the big players enter the market on Tuesday. It could still test the recent high at 1.5350-80. If the FED rise the discount rate today it could as well drop because the hike would be perceived (again) as a step towards tighter monetary policy aka FED funds rate hike.

Ashraf,

according to this Bloomberg articlehttp://bit.ly/bCvkR6 the Conservative Party may win 20-seat parliamentary majority (latest polls). GBPUSD opened today with over 70pips gap. What is your view of further direction of this pair? EURUSD keeps friday's levels, so the GBP gap could be related to more optimistic speculations over election result and the rosy future of UK's economy.

tnx,
pta

Indeed I think, it could be a good short term support, mine is at 1.5950 of this 1 month' big range
