13 February 2001, 16:16 GBP/USD advanced to a six-day high of 1.4574 on rumored M&A-related
buying, despite record low U.K. inflation data.
Cheaper motoring costs and lower household services helped push U.K.
underlying inflation down to its lowest level since the series began in
1976, according to figures published Tuesday the ONS. RPIX, which excludes
mortgage interest payments, fell 0.7% on the month and rose only 1.8% on
the year, compared with an annual rate of 2.0% in Dec. and forecasts for
another 2.0% rise.
The outlook is mixed.
Support: 1.4534 (50% Fibonacci retracement level of the Nov.-Jan.
rally), 1.4486 (overnight low), 1.4379 (Feb. 9 low; 2-month low), 1.4311
(Dec. 5-6 lows), 1.4402 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of Nov.-Jan.
uptrend).
Resistance: 1.4556 (100-day moving average), 1.4574 (overnight high),
1.4629 (60-day moving average), 1.4666 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement level
of the Nov.-Jan. rally), 1.4611 (20-day moving average), 1.4830 (Feb. 5
high).
