GBP futures: upside shows signs of exhaustion

Open interest in GBP futures decreased for the sixth session in a row on Thursday, this time by nearly 3K contracts vs. Wednesday’s final 208,517 contracts, according to advanced data from CME Group. In the same line, volume shrunk by more than 18.2K contracts, the second consecutive drop.
