updates: GBP/USD recovered above 1.2700 after posting large losses on Wednesday. The negative shift seen in market mood helped the US Dollar (USD) find demand as a safe-haven and caused GBP/USD to push lower. Early Thursday, US stock index futures lose between 0.4% and 0.8%, suggesting that the selloff in US stocks could continue after the opening bell. The US economic docket will feature weekly Jobless Claims and Q1 GDP revision. Investors expect the number of first-time applications for unemployment benefits to come in at 218,000 in the week ending May 25. The US Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) will release its second-estimate of the first-quarter Gross Domestic Product growth. In the initial estimate, the BEA reported that the US economy expanded at an annual rate of 1.6% in Q1. GBP/USD edged higher after testing the lower limit of the ascending regression channel. On the downside, 1.2680 aligns as immediate support before 1.2650 and 1.2630. First resistance aligns at 1.2760-1.2750. The Pound Sterling (GBP) is the oldest currency in the world and the official currency of the United Kingdom. The single most important factor influencing the value of the Pound Sterling is monetary policy decided by the Bank of England. Data releases gauge the health of the economy and can impact the value of the Pound Sterling. Another significant data release for the Pound Sterling is the Trade Balance.

Version 0.48 (2024-05-13 15:56:47.364000)

updates: The US Dollar is consolidating after weaker job growth and a contraction in the Services PMI, signaling a loss of strength in the US economy. The recent US employment report raised expectations for Fed rate cuts, but the US economy remains far more robust than other major economies. The US dollar has weakened due to signs of a cooling labor market. Inflation data in the week ahead will be crucial for the US dollar. The GBP/USD technical analysis suggests a potential bullish breakout if the resistance zone is broken. The GBP/USD outlook could become more bullish if US inflation data surprises to the downside.

Version 0.4 (2024-05-08 08:55:01.757000)

updates: The Pound Sterling slips below 1.2500 against the US Dollar due to multiple headwinds, including a sharp recovery in the USD and uncertainty ahead of the Bank of England's (BoE) interest rate decision. The BoE is expected to keep interest rates steady at 5.25%, but could turn slightly dovish on the interest rate outlook. Financial markets anticipate that the BoE will start reducing interest rates from the June meeting, with traders pricing in 53 basis points of easing this year. The appeal for risk-perceived assets weakens after hawkish guidance on US interest rates by Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank President Neel Kashkari. Kashkari supports keeping interest rates steady for the entire year and wants to see multiple positive inflation readings before considering a rate cut. The US Dollar Index (DXY) extends its upside to 105.50. The Pound Sterling falls slightly below the psychological support of 1.2500 against the US Dollar. The GBP/USD pair is under pressure after facing strong resistance above the neckline of the Head and Shoulder (H&S) pattern formed on a daily timeframe. Investors turn cautious about the near-term GBP as the Cable fails to sustain above the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) [fa5608ff].

updates: The Bank of England may provide a clearer signal on interest rate cuts this summer. GBP/USD rebounded to resistance level 1.2633 on Friday. Governor Andrew Bailey expects UK inflation to fall closer to the 2% target. Some economists believe Bank of England cuts could be closer to the European Central Bank. US economic data calendar is light. Technical forecasts for GBP/USD indicate the price is still in the early stages of breaking the overall downward trend. The currency pair will be influenced by the Bank of England's announcement and global financial markets.

Version 0.14 (2024-04-02 10:20:54.280000)

updates: The pound fell towards US$1.25, a level last seen in December, as traders increased bets the Bank of England (BOE) will deliver more interest-rate cuts than the US Federal Reserve (Fed) this year. Sterling slipped 0.1% to US$1.2540, matching a six-week low hit on Monday, after data showed US factory activity unexpectedly expanded in March for the first time since September 2022. It’s a sharp reversal for the currency, which traded as high as US$1.2894 in early March before coming under pressure, after two of the most hawkish BOE members dropped their calls for rate hikes in the central bank’s latest policy meeting. Money markets currently price 65 basis points of rate cuts in the US this year, compared with 70 basis points in the UK. The chance of a BOE quarter-point reduction in June is at around 63%, while that of a similar move by the Fed briefly fell below 50% on Monday. Technical signs also point to the possibility that the pound may break out of the US$1.25-US$1.28 range it has stuck to for much of the year. A closely watched technical indicator, the so-called weekly Bollinger Width, has dropped to levels last seen in 1977, pointing to a high probability that the pound is in for a big move versus the dollar in either direction.
