2017.05.2511:08:00UTC+00Fxwirepro: Gbp/usd Drops Below 1.2950 After Uk Q1 Gdp revised Lower, more Downside Expected

  • GBP/USD declined on Thursday as sterling was weighed down on after data showed Britain's economy slowed more than previously thought in the first quarter of this year.
     
  • Gross domestic product grew by just 0.2 percent compared with an earlier estimate of 0.3 percent. Most economists had forecast the rate of growth would stay unchanged, which already marked a steep slowdown from the rapid 0.7 percent pace achieved in the final three months of 2016.
     
  • The ongoing weakness is set to continue for this pair as the resistance level at 1.3045 is likely to act as strong barrier to the bulls and bring a further decline towards lower levels.
     
  • To the upside, immediate resistance can be seen at  1.2983, a break above this level would expose the cable to next resistance level at 1.3016 levels.
     
  • To the downside strong support can be seen at 1.2887, a break below at this level will open the door towards next level at 1.2844.
