7 March 2001, 16:12  US FX Daily Outlook: Dollar/yen hits 20-month high on Japan talk (part 5)

GBP/USD edged down to a 5-day low of 1.4633 amid talk of heavy GBP/JPY sales from a UK account. This also pushed EUR/GBP up to a 2-day high of 0.6386.
However, the GBP is widely expected to find support later today from a generous UK 2001 Budget package.
The outlook is mixed to slightly bearish, with GBP/USD stuck within Friday's range.
