Amplitude of the last 5 days (high-low): 76p - 87p - 68p - 107p - 49p.
The average amplitude for the last 5 days: 77p (97p).
The GBP / USD currency pair passed 49 points on the last trading day of last week and 50 points on Monday, July 30. Explicitly reduced volatility is due to some reasons, first, to the lack of macroeconomic information from the UK and the US, and secondly, with the upcoming meetings of the Bank of England and the Fed. On the eve of these major events, traders do not want to risk and prefer to sit out of the market. Thus, tomorrow, July 31, volatility in the pair may remain low, and on Wednesday the publication of the results of the Fed meeting will take place, after which it is necessary to expect a surge of activity. The meeting of the Bank of England will be held on Thursday and the key issue on the agenda. Many experts believe that it will increase,
At the same time, we do not believe that the issue of tightening monetary policy is resolved. Given all the problems of the UK, economic and political, the Bank of England can and wait with such a serious decision. In this case, the pound sterling can strongly fall in relation to the US currency, since traders will clearly be very disappointed after the expectations of an increase in the rate. Also much will depend on the speech of Mark Carney, focused on the results of the meeting of the regulator. His rhetoric will be important since Carney is known for his cautious utterances and a lot of fears about the future of the country's economy. In general, the British currency has good chances to grow this week, but the Fed and the Bank of England may present surprises.
