Version 0.84 (2024-02-06 05:14:07.867000)
updates: The Pound to Dollar exchange rate faced headwinds last week as strong US data and hawkish central bank commentary boosted the US Dollar. The GBP/USD plummeted amid mixed data releases and a shifting market mood, ultimately leading to a firming of the US Dollar following optimistic jobs data. The Bank of England kept UK interest rates at a sixteen-year high of 5.25%, in line with market expectations. Looking ahead, the US ISM service PMI is set to be released on Monday, which could drive further movement in the USD. Additionally, a speech from Federal Reserve policymaker Raphael Bostic later that day may also impact the USD. With a data-light week for the UK, the Pound may trade based on risk sentiment and market reactions to last week's dovish hold on interest rates. The US dollar surged after strong US jobs data, pushing EUR/USD to 8-week lows around 1.0770 and GBP/USD to 1.2615. Fed Chair Powell's comments lowered the likelihood of a March rate cut to around 17%. Monday's focus is on ISM services data and banking sector health. Pound vulnerability remains tied to equity market pressures and BoE commentary on rate cut timelines. Traders will monitor near-term data for evidence on the overall economy and labor-market trends. The Reserve Bank of Australia is expected to hold interest rates at 4.35%. GBP/USD hit 10-day lows at 1.2600 on Monday. Bank of England chief economist Pill is likely to repeat that it is too early to consider a rate cut. The Dollar's strong start to the new week was given a fresh boost following the release of a U.S. economic survey that confirmed a strong start to the year. The U.S. ISM services PMI for January read at 53.4, up from December's 50.5 and surpassing the estimate for 52. The survey's employment index rose to 50.5 from 42.8, confirming the U.S. labor market is in good health. The data follows Friday's non-farm payroll report that exceeded estimates and reduced the likelihood of a March rate cut at the Fed. The Pound to Dollar exchange rate is now 1.75% lower at 1.2522, and the Euro to Dollar exchange rate is down 1.30% at 1.0728. HSBC predicts that the Dollar's strength will continue due to the ongoing strength of the U.S. economy relative to its peers. The strong U.S. data suggests that the Federal Reserve is unlikely to cut interest rates in the near future, which can support U.S. bond yields and the Dollar. The Pound US Dollar (GBP/USD) exchange rate tumbled on Thursday, hitting its lowest point since December last year. At the time of writing GBP/USD was trading at $1.2532, down approximately 0.7% from this morning’s opening rate. The US Dollar (USD) surged on Monday, following a notably hawkish shift in Chair Jerome Powell’s address over the weekend. Underpinning USD’s hawkish wins on Monday was a stronger-than-forecast ISM PMI survey. The Pound (GBP) was left rudderless on Monday, as a lack of economic data left GBP vulnerable to UK economic pessimism. In the wake of last week’s hold on interest rates, markets were shocked to see senior (BoE) policymakers express a dovish shift in their language surrounding this year’s upcoming interest rate decisions. Looking ahead, Fed policymaker Loretta J Mester is due to speak on Tuesday afternoon. Should Mester echo the increasingly hawkish narrative adopted by her cohorts in recent days, further support of restrictive monetary policy in the US may see the ‘Greenback’ rally. On Wednesday, the latest US trade data could also impact USD exchange rates. A slight widening of the US trade surplus may lend the ‘Greenback’ some support. Notable UK data remains in short supply for the remainder of the week, meaning GBP may be vulnerable to any shifts in market sentiment.

updates: The Pound to Dollar exchange rate dipped after U.S. inflation accelerated in December. Money markets further pared bets for an imminent interest rate cut at the U.S. Federal Reserve. The market now puts the chances of a rate cut at 67% versus over 90% just over a fortnight ago. The Pound-Dollar exchange rate is capped just above 1.28 for the foreseeable future. The central bank is not expected to start cutting rates due to inflation remaining sticky. [5a4d9541]

Version 0.59 (2023-11-24 07:08:34.964000)
updates: The GBP/USD exchange rate has retreated from its two-month high and is now trading near 1.2530. The UK's manufacturing PMI declined at a slower rate, while the services PMI entered growth territory. Weak demand and falling employment levels continue to impact the UK economy. The Bank of England's aggressive tightening has pushed inflation lower, but it remains above the 2% target. The markets are hopeful for rate cuts next year, although the BoE Governor Andrew Bailey has stated that there are no plans for rate cuts. The US Dollar is recovering due to the improvement in US Treasury yields. The increasing probability of no additional interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve has fostered a risk-on sentiment. The US S&P Global PMI data is anticipated and could have an impact on the currency markets. The US manufacturing and services PMIs will be released on Friday, and if weaker than expected, the US dollar may slip. The GBP/USD was boosted by stronger-than-expected PMI data, pushing rates above 1.25.
