The rebound was due to the dollar weakness and a better-than-expected UK GDP report.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The dollar couldn&#8217;t maintain its earlier gain as the uncertainty over the fiscal stimulus deal pushed the hopes of a US economic recovery to the background. The uptick in the Treasury yields also failed to enthuse either the dollar or the sterling bulls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The selling seen in recent hours lacks any fundamental catalysts and is entirely technical. Further bearish follow-through in the pair can bring in more momentum as swing traders will position for further extension of the current fall from the multi-month tops.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The US CPI rose 0.6 Percent month-on-month in July against an expected 3 Percent; yearly estimates were also surpassed and came in at one Percent. Core Consumer Price Index, which excludes energy and food costs, was higher by 0.6 Percent and 1.6 Percent, monthly and yearly basis, respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">GBP\/USD shrugged off the data and thus asked for some caution from bearish traders. A follow-through selling, below 1.3000 dollars, at this level will be prudent to wait for before initiating any bearish position.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GBP\/USD uptick from the UK GDP fails to sustain.
