Question from Arun: Do you think the bearish run of GBPUSD will end soon?

Posted by Mario Sant Singh 29 October 2012 1 Comment

I received an email from Arun who wrote:

Mario, the GBPUSD dropped more than 200 pips over the past week. What caused that? Do you think the bearish run will end soon?

The downward momentum on the GBPUSD this past week is mainly due to the USD strengthening rather than the GBP weakening.

U.S. core retail sales, building permits, unemployment claims, manufacturing index and existing home sales all registered better than forecast figures. This contributed to the demand for the USD.

Also, generally less-than-stellar corporate earnings, released last week, dampened investors’ risk appetite and increased demand for the Dollar as well.

The GBPUSD may continue its downward momentum, but take note there is obvious support at the round number of 1.5900.

To your success as a profitable trader,

Mario

Trading foreign exchange on margin carries high potential rewards but also high potential risks that may not be suitable for all investors. Before deciding to trade foreign exchange, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience and risk appetite. Past performance is not indicative of future results, which can vary due to market volatility. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with foreign exchange trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
