    The pound continues it's range bound sideways movement trading around the 1.6500 level.  In the US, the University of Michigan consumer sentiment came in a bearish surprise, and is given as a reason that the Dow is down over 100 points. The pound has been responsive to equities, and if the US stocks are a real tank shot today, there may be some late selling of the pound in anticipation of a lower Monday opening.

    The trade today seems to be lackluster.  Combine this with the pending weekend, and it is hard to come up with a trade today.  Yesterday the open interest at the CME futures was down 2,155 contracts, so traders are seeking the sidelines in this pair.
