Pound Under Pressure



The Pound fell against all of its market peers after the survey which showed more Britons preferring to leave the European Union. The GBP/USD pair lost all of its Friday gains reaching a three week low of 1.4353.


Campaigners to get Britain out of the European Union have moved into the lead, according to YouGov poll that increases the pressure on Prime Minister David Cameron with less than three weeks until the referendum (June 23). The Leave campaign is already throwing the global market into turmoil and undermine confidence in the 28-nation trading bloc.

With the uncertainty of Britain to remain in the European Union, the pound is under serious pressure after Brexit polls released over the weekend showed further support for the leave campaign which lead to the drop in the price level in the early hours of today.


Later today, the Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen would grab all the attention when she speaks on economic outlook and monetary policy in Philadelphia as investors remain skeptic of any further hawkish comment after Friday’s awful employment figures.
