The outcome of the vote for Scotland's independence in today's referendum is now difficult to predict, against the background of recent public reports showing equality between the supporters and the opponents of Scotland's integration with Britain.

GBPUSD: consolidation higher than 1.6100 support level

Buy on a level breakthrough of 1.6140 with 1.6227 target. Stop loss = 1.6080.

Reason for the trading strategy.

Yesterday, the Bank of England did not disappoint the supporters of a soft monetary policy in the UK, keeping unchanged the interest rate and the amount of asset purchases. It seems that deflation, which originated in the euro zone, is also starting to spread in the UK. Considering the current value of the consumer price index in the UK of 1.5%, the issue of an early increase of the discount rate in the country has become irrelevant. Today, a likely growth of the UK's trade balance in August may provide some support for the British currency.

Reason for the trading strategy

The November increase in the business activity index in UK's manufacturing sector from 53.3 p. to 53.5 p. is encouraging recovery in the real sector of the world's 6th economy. Note that at the end of September, industrial production in the UK rose by 0.6% (m/m) and 1.5% (y/y). The labor market in this country also demonstrates good dynamics. In September, the unemployment rate in the UK amounted to 6%. Meanwhile, low inflationary pressure does not allow the Bank of England to start tightening its monetary policy.
