Sterling was sharply higher against the dollar and the euro on Friday after the surprise win of David Cameron's Conservative Party in the UK general election. For how long can those gains be sustained? Kathleen Brooks, Research Director at Forex.com, gives her views and says GBP could go either way.
As always, data from the United States will be key to how high sterling can climb and she's aware that a big figure in the nonfarm payrolls later on Friday could reverse some of the strength we've seen today. She looks at some of the levels we could expect over the coming weeks in Cable and EURGBP.
