[QUOTE="HFM, post: 189133, member: 32345"] [B]Date : 17th December 2020. Sterling & the BoE Preview.[/B] [IMG alt="[IMG]"]https://analysis.hotforex.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/2020-12-17_12-20-06-696x501.png[/IMG] [B]GBPUSD, Weekly[/B] The BoE’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) convened for its two-day December policy meeting yesterday, with the announcement out today [B](12:00 GMT).[/B] No changes to policy settings is the universal expectation, which would leave the repo rate at 0.10% and the QE total unchanged at GBP 875 bln. The central bank is clearly keeping a close eye on Brexit talks, and with a deal looking much more likely than at the same time last week, the central bank is likely to hold its horses, especially as vaccinations offer a bright spot for next year. Things can still go wrong though and the BoE will want to keep its options open for now. A no-deal situation would put the BoE into crisis-response mode, and would increase the chance of the central bank implementing a negative interest rate policy. Still, the BoE’s Financial Policy Committee (FPC) affirmed on Friday that UK banks are able to withstand the shock of no-deal on top of the impact of the Covid pandemic. For many a negative interest rate policy in the UK is not the antidote and should be kept firmly in the toolbox, however, as with the protracted Brexit Withdrawal agreement and the down-to-the-wire trade deal (or no-deal), anything is possible and never rule anything out. Sterling has the bid currently and expectations are that something will be agreed and the final “fishing” issue can be put to bed. Last week, EU sources talked of a deal by December 18 (tomorrow), which still provides enough time for draft legislation to be approved by year end. Then earlier this week stories started to circulate of “partial” ratification. The fudge continues. [B]Sterling[/B] remains [I]bid[/I] versus the weaker [B]USD[/B] and [B]JPY[/B], on the [B]back foot[/B] versus the [B]Antipodeans,[/B] [I]moving higher[/I] versus the [B]CAD & CHF[/B] and back to test [B]90.00[/B] versus the [B]Euro[/B]. The new 2020 high for [B]Cable[/B] and the break and breach of [B]1.3500[/B] could see an extension to initial [B]1.3680[/B] and [B]1.4000[/B] in the weeks ahead, should the Greenback continue to unwind. Key support is the 20-week moving average at [B]1.3100[/B] and the 200-week moving average at the key psychological [B]1.3000. Always trade with strict risk management.
