GBPUSD managed to rally yesterday on upbeat employment data making an intra-day high of 1.63586 only to give up its gains during the FOMC event. GBPUSD closed almost flat at 1.62753. With the high risk event of the Scottish vote today, GBPUSD is likely to have a muted reaction to the retail sales data. The Scottish vote is expected to gain momentum as the day progresses and the pair is likely to be whipsawed based on commentary and opinion polls. A widely expected GBPUSD could well exhibit some wild moves with low liquidity towards the late US and early Asian session tomorrow.
