GBP/USD: capped at the 1.32 handle

 

On weakness in the DXY, GBP/USD is consolidating on the 1.32 handle and has exceeded the earlier highs at the start of the month and falling just shy of the high of 28th July at 1.3216.

GBP/USD has been making a recovery from 1.2868 August lows in a strong ascent while investors take advantage of not such a poor aftermath in the Brexit vote and a not so certain outlook for US interest rates weighing in on the greenback despite efforts by Fed officials to keep the mantra alive. The Jackson Hole will address for markets when Yellen speaks and US GDP will also be a major catalyst for the pair on Friday.
