Two reasons to buy

18.05.2021

The UK National Statistics Office will publish its March labor market release today. We should not expect the release of positive data today, inasmuch as large-scale vaccination of the population started precisely in March, and we will receive good statistics starting in April. Meanwhile, we will not see bad news today either. Today I expect the growth of the pound for two reasons. Firstly, there is a surplus of dollar liquidity in the financial system, which will have a negative influence on the value of the American currency.

Secondly, rising oil prices will provide additional support for the pound, insofar as the energy sector accounts for about 10% of British GDP.

Trading recommendation: Buy 1.4135/1.4110 and take profit 1.4200.
