GBP continues to underperform but not as badly as EUR. Still, the British pound is set to move downward in the third quarter partly due to political risks, economists at MUFG Bank report.

“The risks for cable in Q3 remain to the downside given GBP tends to perform poorly as global financial conditions tighten. Beyond then, we expect cable to recover as the USD weakens more broadly.”
