The reversal in outlook forced me to switch the bias of my trading on the British pound from hedged bullish to mainly bearish. I am particularly interested in fading a (relief) rally on GBP\/AUD despite my growing bearishness on the Australian dollar. <\/p>\n<p>The irony of the renewed weakness in the pound is that 2016 ended with a combination of news that could have supported the British pound.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/business\/2016\/12\/29\/rising-petrol-prices-put-pressure-shoppers-spending-power-higher\/\" target=\"_blank\">Inflation hit a 2-year high in November<\/a>. Analysts claim that currency hedging has so far buffered follow-through price hikes to British consumers, but this juggling will come to an end in the second quarter of 2017. Not only do these price dynamics validate the Bank of England&#8217;s suggestion that it is done with rate cuts in response to Brexit, but also I think these dynamics slightly increase the odds of a reversal in policy. <\/p>\n<p>A drop in foreign investment looms as one of the biggest post-Brexit fears for the UK economy. On December 30th, Liam Fox, the UK&#8217;s (post-Brexit) International Trade Secretary, claimed that his department landed more than \u00a316.3 billion of foreign direct investment with billions more to come. Add this news on top of <a href=\"http:\/\/seekingalpha.com\/article\/4022983-time-little-harvesting-even-tailwinds-strengthen-british-pound\" target=\"_blank\">the good economic news that forced the Bank of England to stand down<\/a> from its initial plan to cut rates one more time before the end of 2016. <\/p>\n<p>Going forward, I am looking to a fresh intensification of Brexit concerns as the time approaches for the UK to officially begin the exit process (the infamous Article 50). Under such circumstances, it is hard to imagine the British pound gaining any lasting positive tailwinds.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_37668\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-37668\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/170111_cot-GBP_USD.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/170111_cot-GBP_USD.png\" alt=\"Speculators INCREASED net shorts against the British pound for the first time since late November.
