Pound expected Greek after election for the Direction signals

Fundamental forecasts for the pound sterling: neutral

Financial markets have turned their attention to the outcome of the Greek elections of the weekend, and the pound sterling is no exception. A swelling of the correlation between GBPUSD and the MSCI World Stock Index--a proxy for trends in sense of risk of the whole of the market - is the UK currency squarely at the heart of the volatility as Greek voters to choose between a Government which would respect the commitments of Athens, according to the terms of bailout of the EU and the IMF and the other who abandon them. The last course of action would likely pave the way for the Greece to get out of the euro zone.

Opinion polls place the pro-bailout of the new democracy (ND) party and its main antagonist Syriza in dead heat before the election, suggesting that he is unlikely to win a majority of Director of each side. This means that the most likely result is the emergence of a kind of coalition. In this spirit, a positive feeling and thus GBP-support result would see ND and the public left Pasok party enough votes to form a United front of pro-bailout, fears of a Greek departure of the currency bloc disorder. Any post-election result that fails on this front rises to both Sterling and risk appetite.

While the result of the election of Greek will set the tone for the coming week, it is unlikely to establish a firm trend as such. Finance Ministers of the euro area are rumoured plans a teleconference immediately following the result of the election to suppress any major upheaval in the financial markets, if a jurisdiction. A more formal meeting of the Eurogroup is scheduled for the end of the week in the Luxembourg. Separately, the leaders of the g-20 are due to a peak of two days just after the results of the vote, with the debt crisis the euro almost certainly high on the agenda. All this activity makes the overwhelming probability of high volatility of sentiment trends and Sterling by extension, with a directional bias should emerge that after all the dust firmly falls concrete.

The economic calendar is apparently packaged with the title of press. Minutes of the meeting of the Bank of England from June political developing that may s ICC, of employment and retail sales reports are all due to crossing of the son. Implications for the action of the prices seem a little limited, however given their limited monetary policy after impact than the Central Bank Governor Mervyn King them preempted by the announcement of a new credit-loan program intended to ready UK last weekend. The said extent guaranteed term Repo (ECTR) will provide banks at least 5 billion pounds sterling per month for a period of at least six months and spread a minimum of 25 bps. Although fully operational details are a little murky, Setup is likely to prove GBP-negative over time, if it is acquired with the new creation of liquidity similar to the trigger.
