Analysis and Recommendations:
The GBP/USD is trading at 1.5507 just about where it started the day. It was a positive day for the pound with good strong eco data, (see chart below) Industrial and Manufacturing production was reported well over forecast along with a drop in trade balance. The UK finally has some supportive data. Against the USD it was difficult to gain as the greenback remained strong today. Market sentiment was still to flights of safety and risk aversion as traders worried more and more about the global slowdown and the lack of progress in the EU.
With the US Fed more and more likely to add some stimulus in upcoming weeks, markets are keeping the USD strong.
