According to Barclays Bank's data on November 1st, after the United Kingdom's budget triggered a sell-off of British assets, investors now hold more short positions in British pounds than long positions. Mimi Rushton, Barclays Global Currency Distribution Director, said that some hedge funds and asset management companies are increasing their short positions in British pounds in response to the Autumn Budget announced on Wednesday. With the US presidential election approaching, this risk is quite low. On Wednesday, the UK Office for Budget Responsibility announced that government bond sales for this fiscal year were £297 billion, exceeding the estimated £293 billion by 16 bond traders. Rushton stated that due to narrowing room for maneuver in future debt, repricing is needed, and the market will continue to focus on market sentiment. Additionally, considering the spread, the reasons for the British pound's strength against the euro still exist.
