GBP climbs as new UK PM Rishi Sunak settles in


Recommended Posts

Despite criticism about a cabinet appointment, the first full day of office for the new prime minister, Rishi Sunak, has been met with the second day of gains for sterling.

GBP/USD is now back to the point it was at when Liz Truss first took up the job eight weeks ago, and is being supported by an uptrend in GBP/EUR.

As the UK's new prime minister Rishi Sunak has his first full day as the leader of the UK's parliamentary party, the Conservatives, we've seen an improvement in sterling's performance against a basket of currencies.

GBP/USD

I want to take a look first of all against the US dollar.

Now look, I know the US dollar is pulling back in the markets which does give sterling an extra lift, but significantly, possibly today we are now at the levels we were at when Liz Truss came to power just a matter of weeks ago in the beginning of September.

This ellipse I've drawn here is the point the markets were at at that point in time and you can see this lift now brings us up to those levels once again. So there is a big recovery from the lows we had when Kwasi Kwarteng got up to speak and gave his first and only mini-budget or fiscal statement. Since then the markets have been appreciating the move.

GBP/EUR

Now, as I said, the US dollar is on the way down. So the better way to look at this possibly is with sterling against the euro.

Now we've got this rising line of support in place here. We got the second day of gains. Again, the ellipses where we saw Liz Truss take over. So we are yet to achieve that level of 11,632 is turning against the euro. But, nonetheless, we are still long on this at 11,550, like against the US dollar.

If you are long on this market, you'd be putting your stop below yesterday's low point of the candle, around about the 11,400 level, with a view to taking it up at least to this line at 11,632 which coincides with the 100-period moving average.

So, Rishi Sunak in his first full day in office, sterling game for a second day in a row.

    • Introduction: Following the demise of FTX, the cryptocurrency exchange (CEX) landscape underwent a significant transformation that raised questions about the legitimacy and security of such platforms. As a result, consumers are now demanding greater transparency and protective measures from exchanges to regain their faith. The post-FTX CEX landscape is examined in this paper, with a focus on significant exchanges' actions while also noting important trends. After FTX failed, consumers demanded more openness from CEX, which brought credibility once again into the spotlight. Proof of Reserves (PoR) gained popularity as exchanges tried to convince users that their assets were secure. Although PoR by itself does not ensure solvency, Bitget, OKX, Binance, and other CEX were forced to adopt this approach. Additionally, it became crucial to provide protection funds to give users trust, especially in the event of losses or breaches. Binance upped its protection funds from $735 million to $1 billion, underscoring their dedication to protecting user funds, while Bitget expanded their fund from $200 million to over $300 million. Bitget Shines in the CEX Landscape: Bitget distinguished itself by growing its derivatives volume at the time of FTX's collapse, showing resilience in a challenging market. This exchange's ability to adapt and thrive post-FTX demonstrates its strength in the CEX landscape. Binance retained its dominance, maintaining stable trading volumes despite the FTX fallout, but still faced with regulatory challenges in some regions, forcing it to close its services there. Other exchanges, like OKX, also managed to maintain strong derivatives businesses. However, there was a slight decrease in spot trading volume, with DEX trading remaining relatively stable.   Trends, Legal Landscape, and the Road Ahead:  Most CEXs experienced a decline in derivatives trading volume post-FTX, except for Bitget, which increased its trading volume slightly. This growth highlights Bitget's ability to capture additional volume in a challenging environment. Regulatory challenges, especially in the US, pose significant hurdles for CEXs. Compliance with KYC and AML measures is important, as inadequate safeguards can harm an exchange's reputation. CEXs that actively contribute to the ecosystem gain favour and trust from users. In conclusion, as successful exchanges will continue to adapt, innovate, and prioritize user trust in this evolving and competitive cryptocurrency landscape, which exchange do you think will stand out strong in the coming years? https://research.nansen.ai/articles/decoding-the-cex-landscape-an-in-depth-analysis-of-2023-h1
