Fundamental Indication
- GBP: The British Pound (GBP) rally on Tuesday, 18th April, 2017, following Prime Minister, Theresa May’s announcement of a snap election to be held on June 8, was not sustained as the Pound subsequently declined against the Dollar. We anticipate that the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) report, scheduled to be released later this week (Forecast 2.30%, Previous 1.90%) may influence the price movement of the pair.
- USD: Mixed sentiment still prevails as tension continues to rise as a result of the US-North Korea standoff and the review of President Donald Trump first 100 days. Economic news releases this week may also influence the price movement of the pair.
