The Pound Sterling (GBP) has seen a slight increase in value during the trading day. UK data revealed wage growth in line with expectations, with the Average Weekly Earnings in the July quarter at 4.0% year on year and 5.1% for ex-bonus pay. Unemployment rate also slightly decreased from 4.2% to 4.1% during the same period.

Intraday trend signals for the GBP are currently neutral, with policymakers noting that while slower wage growth is welcomed, it is still too high to align with the Bank of England’s inflation target. As a result, there is a marginal decrease in the likelihood of a BoE interest rate cut next week, with swaps pricing in a 4 basis point easing compared to 5-6 basis points previously.

Despite negative daily and weekly prints on GBP charts indicating downside risks in the short term, there is still residual bullish momentum reflected in oscillator studies which are limiting potential downward movement for now. Short-term patterns for the GBP/USD suggest a corrective phase following the August rally, with a slight bias towards range trading and potential mild downside. Key support levels are at 1.3050/60, while resistance levels are at 1.3110 and 1.3145/50.

Overall, the GBP appears to be holding steady with some potential downside risks in the near-term. The data on wage growth and unemployment rate in the UK has influenced the market sentiment on the GBP, with investors cautiously optimistic about the future movements of the currency. The neutral intraday trend signals indicate a period of stability for the GBP, with minor fluctuations expected as traders monitor the ongoing economic situation in the UK and its impact on the currency’s value.

In conclusion, the Pound Sterling has shown resilience in the face of economic data releases, with the GBP/USD charts suggesting a cautious approach to trading in the near future. While downside risks exist, the currency is supported by residual bullish momentum, keeping it afloat in the current market conditions. Traders are advised to monitor key support and resistance levels closely and adjust their strategies accordingly to navigate the potential volatility ahead.
