    Was watching CNBC at 2am last night, as you do, and some "expert" was on saying to expect the dollar to continue to slide and the £ would hit 1.65 "in the next couple of days".

    So, we're going below 1.60 again :)

    Email today from Torfx:

    The Fisher comments sparked some further interest in the pound today, and the rally gained traction as a full blown "short squeeze" developed over the course of Thursday morning. A short squeeze happens when speculators who have sold the pound in expectation of further declines are forced to re-buy the currency to close their bets and stem losses. This situation can develop with little warning when large numbers of traders are caught "offside" when a market turns unexpectedly. That is what we are seeing today.

    There is still some debate over whether the BoE may extend so called "QE" at the November meeting, but traders will be focussing on next week's release of the October meeting minutes to get a real view of how that debate is looking inside the BoE.

    The technical outlook is much improved as long as we can sustain today's gains into the weekend. In last week's update we said that sterling needed to capture 1.6126 to effectively reverse the slide. That box was ticked this morning, so we could be heading back towards the high 1.60s in due course. That's as long as we don't slide back below 1.5800 again.

    Lets hope for a good weekend ( fingers crossed)

    Watching this with great interest. Off to the USA in 2 and a half weeks. Trying to decide if we should get currency now or gamble & wait a while.
    In need of a new signature! :rotfl:
