Which GBP Trade Ahead of GDP?
Wednesday's release of the UK Q2 GDP revisions is raising the usual debate as to whether the figures will be revised from the initial release of 0.4% q/q and 2.7% y/y. Some analysts are already talking of overbought momentum in GBP pairs, but the subsequent release of the all-important US CPI and durable goods orders later in the day could rebalance momentum in GBUSD. Or will it? Trading a GBP cross other than cable is an alternative -- such as GBPCAD, GBPJPY or EURGBP. Our Premium subscribers have just received today's new GBP trade with 2 important charts, laying out the technical and fundamental arguments for the trade plan.
