Pound Sterling drops as UK inflation and BoE results loom uncertain

The Pound Sterling is currently facing challenges against the US Dollar as the Federal Reserve maintains a hawkish stance on interest rates, causing the GBP/USD pair to hover around 1.2670, close to a monthly low. Fed Bank President Neel Kashkari predicts only one rate cut this year, contradicting market expectations of multiple rate cuts due to a slowdown in US inflation. Chicago Fed Bank President Austan Goolsbee also hesitates in favor of a single rate cut, despite acknowledging the recent cooling in inflation reports.

On the other hand, the Pound Sterling’s performance is weak against major currencies, anticipating the UK CPI data for May and the Bank of England’s interest rate policy. Economists expect a decrease in core CPI to 3.5% and a return to the central bank’s target of 2.0% for headline inflation. This decline in inflation may boost confidence in stable price pressures and increase expectations of early rate cuts by the BoE. Market analysts predict that the BoE will maintain interest rates at 5.25% in the upcoming policy meeting, with a chance of a rate hold in August.

In technical analysis, the Pound Sterling corrects near the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement support level at 1.2667, as caution prevails ahead of key UK events. The GBP/USD pair struggles to sustain above the 50-day Exponential Moving Average at 1.2670, signaling uncertainty in the near-term outlook. Additionally, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates fading upside momentum within the 40.00-60.00 range.

Looking at the percentage changes of the Pound Sterling against major currencies today, the British Pound shows strength against the Japanese Yen. The heat map displays changes between different currencies, with the base currency on the left column and the quote currency on the top row. The table highlights a mixed performance of the Pound Sterling compared to other currencies.

The Bank of England’s interest rate decision is crucial for the Pound Sterling, affecting its value based on the Bank’s stance on inflation and interest rates. A hawkish outlook leading to interest rate hikes is bullish for the Pound, while a dovish approach with rate cuts is bearish. The next BoE interest rate decision is scheduled for June 20, with the consensus being 5.25%. The outcome of this decision will have a significant impact on the Pound Sterling’s performance in the market.
