EURGBP strongly rebounds
U.K. pound fell against the euro for a third day and dropped versus the dollar.
The pound had its biggest weekly drop against the dollar last week since mid-June as manufacturing business shrank by the most in a decade, adding to evidence a recession is looming.
The faltering economy will weaken the pound to $1.90 and to 80 pence per euro by year-end, according to the median forecast of analysts and strategists surveyed by Bloomberg. The yield on the 10-year note will end the year at 4.87 percent, according to a separate survey.
Last Friday I had bought 20,000 EURGBP at 0.7878, stop level at 0.7820, target level at 0.7950. Current rate is 0.7916, unrealised profit is US$141.48.
