Sterling moved lower in early Tuesday’s trading after deadly terrorist attack in Manchester and slipped below Monday’s low at 1.2965 after hitting high at 1.3003 in Asia. Failure to close above 1.3000 on Monday and confirm break weighs, as the price action remains capped by falling thick weekly cloud.
