  "account": "UOB analysts Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann remain optimistic about the British Pound's prospects against the US Dollar, predicting a potential return to the 1.3700 mark if GBP/USD maintains its current level above 1.3605. Although recent price action has seen the pair dip below their expected 1.3630-1.3665 intraday range, the overall positive outlook persists as long as the crucial support level at 1.3605 holds strong. Overnight trading showed no shift in either bullish or bearish trends, with GBP trading within a narrower range of 1.3623-1.3655 before closing at 1.3650, up 0.15%. Moving ahead, the analysts anticipate a higher range for GBP/USD between 1.3630-1.3665 in the coming week. Should GBP break below the 'strong support' level of 1.3605, the 1.3700 target becomes unattainable. Despite a slightly negative sentiment in the European trading session, the pair remains near a six-month high, awaiting the release of the US Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index for further momentum.",
  "summary": "United Overseas Bank’s (UOB) Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann maintain a positive 1–3 week outlook for GBP/USD, with 1.3700 still in sight as long as the pair holds above 1.3605.",
