GBP/USD hits 1.65 on the first two official NO results
FXStreet (Guatemala) - GBP/USD is trading at 1.6515, up on the day, having posted a daily high at 1.6518 and low at 1.6388.
And so we begin! The first result was a big no from Clackmannanshire, a region that was expected to be a certain contributor to the yes campaign.The next was Orkney that smashed out its result at 67%. So a surprise vote from Clackmannanshire, first of all supported sterling on it’s crusade up to the psychological 1.65 handle and a clear break would encourage the bulls to stay on aboard with train whose objective could well be to reinstate itself back a pre campaigning levels in the congested area of the1.66 handle. However, with some 30 results left to be announce over the course of the Asian day, we are well away from being able to call it one way or the other and volatility is the name of order for the rest of the trading day.
