GBP futures: potential for extra pullbacks

According to preliminary figures for GBP futures markets from CME Group, open interest rose by more than 2.3K contracts on Thursday vs. Wednesday’s final 227,874 contracts. Volume followed suit, up by around 5K contracts, marking at the same time the fifth consecutive build.
