Sterling against the US dollar saw a choppy session, sliding to 1.3401 before rebounding to finish at 1.3481, a gain of 0.13%. The move leaves room for an extension, though overbought conditions are seen capping the advance near 1.3520 rather than bringing 1.3555 into play. Near-term support is placed at 1.3450, and a break below 1.3425 would suggest the upward bias is fading.
