Preview: the pound may lose its reserve currency status after Brexit. This may cause a drop in demand among Central Banks.
The GBP/USD continues correction. While there are no new reports on Brexit, negative news continues to come in on Brexit-related topics. For example, it became known that after Brexit, many world central banks are ready to reduce the number of reserves in pounds. This is due to the same uncertainty. The Central Bank does not know what will happen to the UK economy after leaving the EU. There are already many signs of deterioration. There is every reason to assume that after Brexit, the situation will not change for the better. Moreover, there is a possibility of a "hard" gap between the EU and Britain. This means that the "extra" pounds will go to the foreign exchange market in free access, the offer will grow, and, accordingly, the British currency may even further subside in value. Thus, the pound is pressured not only by Brexit itself but also by many other factors associated with Brexit. That is why we believe that until there is a clear decision on Brexit, there is no hope for a serious strengthening of the pound. Today, for the pound, we also expect a rebound from the moving average line. No important macroeconomic reports from the UK and the US are expected today. The influence of the Foundation will be absent.
