Don’t bet on a further improvement in UK confidence from here – MUFG | Forexlive
MUFG Research maintains a bearish bias on GBP over the coming weeks.
“While the scale of collapse in confidence triggered by the ‘Growth Plan’ might not be repeated we
would be cautious on there being a further improvement in confidence
from here. We still see renewed GBP weakness ahead with a danger of a
rush to retrieve investor credibility going too far and worsening
notably the already grim economic outlook,” MUFG notes.
“There is speculation now that Jeremy Hunt could over-compensate in
filling the fiscal gap by demanding more aggressive government spending
cuts and adding further tax increases when his updated plan is announced
on 31st October,” MUFG adds.
