The pound climbed against its major opponents in early European
deals on Monday, as European shares rose on easing fears over
political instability in Germany and investors looked ahead to a
heavy run of data due this week and a possible U.S. Senate vote on
proposed tax changes.
Over the weekend, leaders of German Chancellor Angela Merkel's
conservative party agreed to pursue a "grand coalition" with Social
Democrats, edging closer to halt weeks of political deadlock in
Europe's biggest economy.
Investors await the Fed chair Janet Yellen's testimony on the
economic outlook before the Congressional Joint Economic Committee
on Wednesday, a day before the U.S. Senate Banking Committee holds
a confirmation hearing for new Fed chief nominee Jerome Powell.
The EU summit last week failed to make any breakthrough in
Brexit talks with the European Council President Donald Tusk
seeking progress from UK in 10 days on all issues, including on
Ireland.
But European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker delivered
a hint of optimism, saying "they are making progress" in the Brexit
negotiations.
The pound held steady against its major rivals in the Asian
session, with the exception of the yen.
The pound bounced off to 148.64 against the yen and 0.8931
against the euro, from its early low of 148.17 and an 11-day low of
0.8967, respectively. The pound is seen finding resistance around
150.00 against the yen and 0.88 against the euro.
The pound reversed from its early low of 1.3310 against the
greenback, rising to 1.3357. The next possible resistance for the
pound is seen around the 1.35 region.
The U.K. currency climbed to a 5-day high of 1.3107 against the
franc, off its early low of 1.3034. Continuation of the pound's
uptrend may see it challenging resistance around the 1.33 area.
Looking ahead, U.S. new home sales for October are due in the
New York session.
