GBP is down ahead of next week’s anticipated BoE

"The pound’s bear run is notable as it threatens a break of its mid-May low, opening up the risk of a decline to levels last seen in mid-April. Focus is on fundamentals, and specifically next Thursday’s BoE, where a 25bpt cut (to 4.00%) is widely expected. Unlike the EUR, the pound’s yield spreads have been trending gently lower since April, eroding a critical source of support."

"The final manufacturing PMI, released earlier Friday, offered a minor disappointment to an already worrisome contractionary (sub-50) reading, softening to 48.0 from 48.2 in the preliminary."

"Technicals are bearish and the RSI is deeply oversold. The latest bear run is threatening the mid-May lows and opening up the potential for a push toward anticipated support at the psychologically important 1.28 level, around the 200 day MA (1.2978). We look to a near-term range bound between 1.3120 support and 1.3220 resistance."
