Analysis and Recommendations:
The GBP/USD held pretty close to its open, trading at 1.5353 as the USD regained some of its lost momentum after a positive services ISM report in the US. The UK markets are closed for the Queens Jubilee 4 day holiday. There has been no data or trading in the UK since last week.
The pair have just moved on global sentiment.On Wednesday traders return to the markets and we should see some movement especially against the euro.
The G7 phone conference yielded little results and was restricted to conversations regarding Spain. While Europe will be a focal point, no clear agenda is available and the outcome is likely to yield general statements or silence across It’s pure speculation whether the call is about a push toward some grand plan for Europe in advance of the bigger G20 Summit in Mexico on June 18th-19th, or (more likely in my opinion) quite the opposite in terms of preparing contingencies for worst case scenarios surrounding Greek elections on the 17th and Spain’s bank funding requirements.
