Pound Sterling (GBP) is down 0.2% against the US Dollar (USD) and a mid-performer among the G10, trading relatively well despite a generally disappointing preliminary PMI release, Scotiabank's Chief FX Strategist Shaun Osborne notes.

Trend in GBP/USD remains bullish

"The manufacturing print disappointed with a relatively deep contractionary print of 45.1 while services climbed just above the expansion threshold, printing 50.2."

"The trend in GBP/USD remains bullish, with consolidation just below Wednesday’s multi-year high. The RSI is just below 60, leaving ample room for further near-term gains. Near-term support is expected below 1.33."
