The currency pair GBP / USD on Tuesday, February 19, with great difficulty remains slightly above the moving average line. However, in the near future, the pair may return to the area below the MA, as only disappointing messages continue to come from the UK. This time, the information concerns the meeting of Theresa May with some ministers, during which May called to agree to postpone Brexit to a later time, probably due to the fact that few people already believe in the opportunity to agree on the terms of Brexit for the remaining six weeks. Otherwise, the UK government may leave immediately 22 people - ministers and their deputies. Recall that during the past year, 5 ministers voluntarily left their posts. There are no other posts on the Brexit at the moment. The main thing for the pound sterling is that there are no positive messages. Does the question still remain on the agenda and on what basis does the pound grow? Today in the UK, data on the unemployment rate, the average wage and the number of applications for unemployment benefits in February will be published. The forecasts are very optimistic, especially in terms of wages (its growth rates are expected to accelerate), however, we believe that in practice, everything can be much worse. The UK is extremely rare in the last 2 years, we are pleased with positive macroeconomic statistics.
