SocGen, Commerzbank: comments on GBP/USD
Analysts at Societe Generale and Commerzbank are positive on British pound in the short term. In their view, GBP/USD is on its way up to resistance in the $1.5780/1.5820 area (July 12 minimum/38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the decline from $1.6617).
The longer-term outlook for sterling, however, is negative. Commerzbank expects UK currency to decline to the 2009-2011 uptrend line at $1.4973. Support for the pair is found at $1.5347 (December 2010 minimum).
Commerzbank: bullish outlook for USD/CAD
Last week the greenback surged versus its Canadian counterpart from the levels in the 0.9800 zone to 1-year maximum at 1.0385 reached on September 26. Then USD/CAD faced resistance of October 2010 high and eased down to $1.0220.
Technical analysts at Commerzbank claim that support for the pair is found at 1.0140/09 (August, May and June 2010 minimums) and 1.0058/00. In their view, US dollar will recoil up from these levels and resume growth.
According to the bank, US currency will manage to strengthen to the 200-week MA at 1.0581.
