GBP / USD

In the first half of Monday, the British pound rose by 50 points due to business activity growth in the construction sector, as the May estimate did not changed since April (52.5) but did not fall to the projected 52.0. At the same time, Silvana Tenreyro, a member of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee, announced several possible rate increases over the next three years. But, firstly, it only confirmed the already known line of the Central Bank and secondly, Tenreyro has always been distinguished by increased (and subsequently unjustified) optimism in this regard. As a result, the pound closed the day with a decrease to 35 points under the pressure of the dollar.

Today, the UK business activity index for May is expected to rise to 52.9 from 52.8. The American ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI is expected with even greater growth from 56.8 to 57.9, balance in favor of the dollar. We are waiting for the British pound in the range of 1.3225 / 45.
