There are no data releases from the UK today, however, Sterling was pushed lower this morning. Uncertainty over a potential exit from the European Union was the catalyst behind the selling pressure. This could be the theme for the next two weeks because Britain will hold a referendum on EU membership on June 23.

Some British officials including Prime Minister David Cameron and Bank of England members have argued that departing the European Union will disrupt the British economy. According to a new poll, a majority of British people favor leaving the European Union. The data in London newspaper The Independent showed that 55 percent believe Britain should leave the EU, versus 45 percent who favored staying. The publication said it marked the largest portion of respondents who favored exiting since research firm ORB began polling the issue for it last year.

Sterling is currently being traded few points above 1.42 level. Pair is likely to find support around 1.4150 handle and resistance above 1.4250 level. There will be no major data releases later today.
