UK inflation report to provide fresh GBP/USD setupsGBP/USD would likely be a lot higher heading into today’s UK inflation report if not for the Ukraine headlines yesterday. The bullish pin coming a day after a bullish engulfing candle says as much, reflective of plenty of willing buyers below 1.2613. With RSI (14) breaking its downtrend and MACD looking like it may soon flick higher, momentum also looks to be in the early stages of turning, adding weight to the price signals over the past two sessions. While the near-term bias is bullish, entry for potential longs will be determined by the UK inflation report due out shortly. The annual headline rate is expected to accelerate to 2.2% from 1.7%, although traders may want to put more weight on the core and services figures given noise created by base effects. The former is seen easing a tenth to 3.1% while services is tipped to remain sticky at 4.9%, reflecting the impact of continued strength in wages growth. However, domestic factors have not been highly influential over GBP/USD moves recently, as demonstrated by the extremely tight inverse relationship with US benchmark 10-year US Treasury yields over the past fortnight. If the relationship persists, use the reaction to the report to evaluate the merit of setups. If we see a dip towards 1.2613, you could buy with a tight stop beneath for protection. 1.2720 would be the initial target with 1.2803 the next after that. Another option would be to wait to see whether the price can break above 1.2720, allowing for longs to be established with a stop below. 1.2083/200DMA would be the first target. Beyond, the uptrend dating back to May is also on the radar. It’s found around 1.2930 today. If the price were to break and hold below 1.2613, the bullish bias would be invalidated. Good luck! DS

UK inflation expected to jump to 2.2%The British pound is steady on Tuesday. In the North American session, GBP is trading at 1.2678 at the time of writing, unchanged on the day. On Monday, the pound ended a six-day slide, during which the currency lost 2.8%. The Bank of England has done an excellent job slashing inflation, which was in double digits for much of 2023. The September inflation report was a milestone as inflation eased to 1.7%, the first time it was below the BoE target of 2% since April 2021. Still, the BoE is under no illusions that the tenacious battle against inflation is over. Services inflation has fallen significantly but is running at 4.9%, more than double the target. The Trump election win has raised deep concerns that Trump’s trade policy promises, with threats of tariffs on US trading partners, could lead to higher global inflation. The BoE lower rates by 25 basis points on Nov. 7, marking the second rate cut in the current easing cycle. The September inflation report contributed to the decision to lower rates at that meeting and Wednesday’s inflation release will be closely monitored by the BoE, with the following inflation report coming out on Dec. 18, just one day before the BOE’s next rate announcement. BoE Governor Bailey said in a report to the House of Commons Treasury select committee that the BoE needed to keep a close eye on services inflation, which remained above a level that was compatible with “on target inflation”. Bailey also stated that he favored a gradual approach to cutting rates in order for the central bank to assess the effects of the government’s recent budget on growth and inflation. The BoE’s November forecasts indicate that the budget will result in higher growth and inflation in the near term, which could slow the pace of rate cuts. GBP/USD Technical There is resistance at 1.2707 and 1.2736 1.2629 and 1.2658 are the next support levels

GBP/USD Shows Strength Amid US Dollar WeaknessThe GBP/USD currency pair has gained bullish momentum, appreciating nearly 0.5% on Monday and breaking a six-day losing streak. Currently, the pair is trading within a demand zone, where the potential for a rebound appears plausible. Bearish pressure on the US Dollar (USD) has contributed to the upward movement in GBP/USD. Additionally, with no significant macroeconomic data set for release, the recent pullback in US Treasury bond yields has hindered the dollar's ability to maintain the gains it achieved the prior week. Later today, Bank of England (BoE) Governor Andrew Bailey and members of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) will address inquiries from the UK Treasury Select Committee, which could further influence market sentiment and the pound's standing. Traders are now contemplating a potential retracement in the GBP, focusing on how this dynamic might unfold in the wake of ongoing economic developments and central bank dialogue. ✅ Please share your thoughts about GBP/USD in the comments section below and HIT LIKE if you appreciate my analysis.
