GBPUSD weakness may persist

英镑兑美元疲软可能持续存在

GBPUSD continues to trade within the downward channel on the charts that has been in place for most of this month so far and could fall to 1.26 as the Brexit process continues to go nowhere. After an offer Tuesday by UK Prime Minister Theresa May of a Parliamentary vote on a second Brexit referendum, that gave Sterling a brief boost, failed to gain support, GBP dropped back again and continues to look weak.

英镑兑美元继续在本月大部分时间的图表下行通道中进行交易，并且随着英国脱欧进程继续无处可能降至1.26。在周二英国首相特蕾莎·梅（Theresa May）就第二次英国退欧公投进行投票之后，英镑提供短暂提振，未能获得支持，英镑再次回落并继续看跌。

As the runners and riders jostle for position at the starting line, waiting for the official starting flag to be waved in the race to replace May as Prime Minister, uncertainty is bound to persist – and so far GBPUSD has shown little sign of responding favorably to her likely fall.

与此同时，英国的Ap通胀数据从3月份的1.9％开始，年增幅小于预期，为2.1％。相比之下，市场普遍预测为2.2％，虽然它仍然是今年最高的，但是由于能源账单的增加而推高。
