  "account": "UOB analysts Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann report that the British Pound (GBP) against the US Dollar (USD) is currently confined to a short-term trading range. Over the next 1-3 weeks, they anticipate the pair to fluctuate between 1.3535 and 1.3570. While deeply oversold conditions have limited major declines, they caution that a downside risk exists toward 1.3480 if GBP remains below the 1.3600 level. In the longer term, GBP/USD is expected to trade within a broader range. The GBP experienced a sharp decline to a low of 1.3527 last Friday but later traded between 1.3531 and 1.3565, closing at 1.3549, reflecting a range-trading phase. Despite some recovery, the underlying tone suggests a potential move towards a higher range of 1.3535/1.3570.",
