The pound moved up against its major counterparts in the
European session on Wednesday, after a data showed that the
nation's private sector activity expanded further in January.
Flash survey results from S&P Global showed that the
composite output index rose to 52.5 from 52.1 in December. The
expected score was 52.2.
The services PMI advanced to 53.8 from 53.4 in the previous
month. The reading was forecast to rise to 53.2.
The manufacturing PMI came in at 47.3, up from 46.2 in the prior
month. The reading was seen at 46.7.
Stronger-than-expected PMI data raised the possibility of UK
rate staying higher for longer.
The pound edged up to 188.48 against the yen and 1.1052 against
the franc, from an early low of 187.46 and a 2-day low of 1.1011,
respectively. The pound may find resistance around 195.00 against
the yen and 1.13 against the franc.
The pound advanced to near a 2-week high of 1.2773 against the
greenback and a 4-1/2-month high of 0.8535 against the euro, off
its early lows of 1.2671 and 0.8561, respectively. The pound is
poised to challenge resistance around 1.31 against the greenback
and 0.84 against the euro.
