GBP/USD extending losses on risk aversion
FXStreet (Guatemala) - GBP/USD is falling as markets are working in tandem upon sudden risk aversion trading.
GBP/USD marked a low of 1.6632 so far as the US dollar is climbing as a safe haven once again with there being tensions building upon the Ukrainian situation with reports of Russian troop build-ups along the Ukrainian border. Meanwhile RBS strategists noted that construction output and trade figures for January are due in the UK. “The trade figures are somewhat erratic on a month-to-month basis but the persistent deficit that will likely be reported remains a key medium-term structural headwind for GBP”.
