Talking Points:
– British Pound slips again on weaker PMI Services report.
– GBPUSD and GBPJPY fall towards critical longer-term support.
– Plenty of event risk this week still: BoE on Thursday, US NFPs on Friday.

Another softer UK PMI report has stoked the next leg of British Pound’s weakness, while the Japanese Yen’s strength is offering no favors to GBPJPY. The major GBP-crosses are nearing critical junctures. A move back to $1.6200 would coincide with former resistance off of the 2009 and 2011 highs for GBPUSD, while GBPJPY eyes the trendline from November 2012 – the backbone of the rally in 2013.
