24-hour view: GBP traded between 1.2714 and 1.2789 yesterday, narrower than our expected range of 1.2700/1.2800. The underlying tone has improved somewhat, and GBP is likely to edge higher. In view of the mild upward pressure, any advance is unlikely to threaten the major resistance at 1.2830 (minor resistance is at 1.2800). Support is at 1.2755, followed by 1.2725.
