British Pound: Pound capped as bearish bias lingers against US Dollar – UOB
United Overseas Bank’s (UOB) Quek Ser Leang highlights that GBP/USD continues to lack clear momentum, with intraday action expected between 1.3175 and 1.3225. The bank maintains a negative 1–3 week view, seeing scope for a drop toward 1.3110 while strong resistance at 1.3245 caps upside. Over the 1–3 month horizon, the pair is still seen broadly range-bound.
Range trade persists with downside risk
"24-HOUR VIEW: Following last Thursday’s price action, we indicated on Friday that “there has been no shift in either downward or upward momentum, and the fluctuations appear to be part of a range-trading phase.” We expected GBP to “trade between 1.3160 and 1.3220.” GBP subsequently traded within a range of 1.3182/1.3232 before settling at 1.3211 (+0.16%). Momentum indicators are still mostly flat, and we continue to expect GBP to trade in a range, most likely between 1.3175 and 1.3225."
"1-3 WEEKS VIEW: We have held a negative GBP view since the middle of the month. In our most recent narrative from last Thursday (25 Jun, spot at 1.3165), we indicated that “there is a chance for GBP to drop to 1.3110.” Although GBP has since recovered, the weakness has not stabilised yet, and we will maintain our view as long as 1.3245 (no change in ‘strong resistance’ level) is not breached."

How does Wall Street view the PCE? Goldman Sachs delays expectation for Fed rate hike
After the lower-than-expected US August PCE data was released, Goldman Sachs delayed its expectation for the Federal Reserve's second rate hike from October to December, and stated that it does not rule out the possibility that the Fed may eventually decide no further hikes are necessary. "New Fed Newsletter" Timiraos noted that the PCE does not change the previously known trend of rising inflation. Currently, the market prices in a 39% probability of a rate hike in October, down from 45% before the PCE release; and a 90% probability in December. The yield on 2-year US Treasury notes dipped slightly after the PCE announcement and then rebounded, while the 10-year yield continued to rise.
