The British pound continues to lose ground, showing a noticeable lag behind the trajectory of UK government bond yields. Deutsche Bank analysts recommend selling the pound based on data from a broad trade-weighted index. The current quote of the GBP/USD pair is 1.2213. Today, the currency has plummeted from 1.2318. Analysts note that since the beginning of the year, the pound sterling has shown the worst results among world currencies, comparable to the decline recorded after the announcement of the UK budget in November last year. In its analysis, Deutsche Bank points to no signs of improvement in the country's current account deficit, as well as the risk of further deterioration in volatility-adjusted yields. The bank's report pays special attention to the dependence of the pound on capital inflows through the carry trade, which is now under threat. After taking profits on long positions in December, Deutsche Bank analysts revised their strategy and switched to selling recommendations. Since the beginning of the year, the pound has lost just over 1% in the trade-weighted index. Although this has not historically been a significant decline, the recent weakness of the pound is particularly noticeable against the backdrop of the strengthening US dollar, against which most world currencies have reached multi-month or even multi-year lows.
