The gains for the Australian Dollar may be coming off the back of an uptick in iron ore prices today. The Pound Australian Dollar (GBP/AUD) exchange rate fell further today despite stronger performance for the Pound (GBP). Furthers calls for PM Truss’ resignation may continue to cause market jitters amid the prospect of another leadership contest. A retreat in risk appetite may keep gains for the ‘Aussie’ capped, however. Additionally, a contentious vote on fracking in the House of Commons saw chaotic scenes in the voting lobby amid confusion over the true nature of the vote. A drop in UK government bond prices may also be weighing on the currency pair.

Selling pressure hits GBP early in Asia as they're all out of money ... (ForexLive)

The late-US low in cable has given way and so it's a new post-post-Truss low with the pair shaving off 33 pips already. GBPUSD 10 mins.

Below that, the 1.1000 level and 1.0924 low from Oct 12 offer some solid short-term support. If that morphs into another rout in equities (and today's price action wasn't constructive), then the pound could be right back down to 1.04. There's a chance only one UK Conservative gets the support of 100 MPs on Monday and is acclaimed as PM, so that's the date to watch.

A new Prime Minister could be chosen as early as Monday, although a closer race could lead to jitters in the markets. For the US Dollar, Monday’s PMI figures could lend support to the currency if they print as expected. Tuesday’s data releases from the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) could also weigh on the Pound if they print as forecast. Bets on Sterling are likely being limited as markets await the outcome of the contest. Drastically higher-than-forecast UK government borrowing is also likely pushing the Pound lower today.

GBP/AUD Stumbles amid UK Sales Slump (TorFX News)

(Updated 15:15, 21/10/22) The Pound Australian Dollar (GBP/AUD) exchange rate continued to tumbled today as economic and political instability rocks the UK.

Looking ahead, we may see the volatility that has characterised the Pound in recent weeks continue. Previous leadership hopefuls Rishi Sunak and Peny Mordaunt are in the top three, alongside former PM Boris Johnson, who was deposed by the parliamentary party earlier this year. The conflict seemingly entered a new stage in early October, dashing hopes that there might soon be an end to the crisis. This in turn is denting consumer spending, thereby slowing the economy. Domestic sales in the UK contracted by a whopping 1.4% in September, far worse than the expected 0.5% contraction. More political uncertainty or drama will likely hurt Sterling. Markets seem concerned that whoever wins will struggle to unite a divided Conservative Party and lead the country in a time of economic crisis.

Considering the fact that the pound itself is short of any confidence amid a rather bleak UK outlook, it's tough to fight the prevailing narrative.

GBP/JPY Price Forecast – British Pound Continues to Consolidate ... (FX Empire)

The British pound has gone back and forth during the trading session on Friday as we continue to consolidate after the recent breakout.

That being said, the British pound has its own issues, so I think this will be one of the last pairs to take off against the yen, at least in the short term. Ultimately, I think we’ve got a situation where the market is probably going to be more back and forth in the short-term, but eventually go looking the higher levels as the Bank of Japan continues to buy unlimited bonds. At this point, it looks like we are trying to consolidate after breaking through a major resistance barrier in the form of the ¥168 level.
