GBP/AUD

With the U.K Composite PMI (June) and Services (PMI) (June) scheduled to be released later this morning, with a forecast of 47.6 and 47.0, coupled with the resurgence we’ve seen over the last few days in the British Pound, rallying to a high of 1.2530 against the U.S. Dollar, the expectation could be that if the figures announced are better than expected, in the short term, the bias on the Pound could remain bullish.
