Market Talk:
Sterling seen having limited leeway to recover more
0921 GMT – Investor stance adjustments have played a key role in the pound’s recent rally, but further gains may be limited, ING says. GBP/USD may experience further temporary appreciation to 1.22-1.23, but these would be the best levels before the end of the year, ING analyst Chris Turner said in a note. “Similarly, EUR/GBP is enjoying good support in the 0.8550/0.8600 area, and given our view of a challenging risk environment at year-end and early 2023 as central banks raise rates in recessions, sterling is likely to remain vulnerable.” GBP/USD fell 0.1% to 1.2104 after hitting a three-month high of 1.2155 on Thursday, according to FactSet. EUR/GBP rose 0.2% to 0.8611 after hitting a three-week low of 0.8571 on Thursday. ([email protected])
