U.K. purchasing managers' indexes for August will be key indicators for sterling, starting with the manufacturing index on Thursday, followed by construction Friday and services Monday. After very weak readings for July following the U.K. vote to leave the EU, the market is expecting a modest rebound in August. CIBC strategist Jeremy Stretch says he would look to sell GBP/USD rallies if the rebound should "prove less robust than expected," looking for a test of $1.30 once $1.3020/25 is breached. GBP/USD trades firmer for now, up 0.1% at $1.3119.
Forex and stock traders are looking for the consistently wrong investor, trader and take the opposite position. This will obviously lead to winning trades for them. All traders have read trading books that point out that increasing volume is good for the continuation of the trend. Many new stock traders will try and fight the trend.
