Traders said the bounce in sterling was likely to meet selling at higher levels with markets pricing in chances of at least two rate cuts in the next six months. “We believe that the softness in the UK economy is likely to be reflected by official post-referendum data as well over the coming weeks, something that could heighten speculation of a potential UK recession being on the horizon,” said a senior analyst at IronFX Global.
Sterling is currently being traded around 1.3140 level. Pair is likely to find support around 1.31 handle and resistance above 1.3170 area.
