GBP/USD regains 1.5640
FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The sterling is now alternating gains with losses vs. the dollar, with GBP/USD around 1.5640 after dropping to lows near 1.5620.
GBP/USD eyes on UK CPI
Spot has been rejected from the 1.5690 area once again in early trade, triggering the current leg lower to daily troughs near 1.5620 amidst a generalized tone favouring the greenback.
It will be a key week for the pound, as inflation figures are due tomorrow ahead of Retail Sales (Thursday) and Public Sector Net Borrowing (Friday). Prior surveys expect core consumer prices to have rise at an annual pace of 0.8% during July.
GBP/USD key levels
At the moment the pair is up 0.02% at 1.5643 with the next resistance at 1.5688 (high Aug.17) ahead of 1.5690 (high Jul.29) and then 1.5734 (high Jul.). On the other hand, a breach of 1.5622 (low Aug.17) would open the door to 1.5573 (low Aug.13) and finally 1.5536 (low Aug.12).
