Pound Sterling rises following positive UK data and high US PPI

The Pound Sterling has seen a sharp recovery against its major peers following the release of robust factory data and expected GDP growth in August in the UK. Traders are anticipating that the Bank of England (BoE) will cut interest rates in at least one of the remaining two policy meetings this year. Additionally, the US annual Producer Price Index (PPI) data for September grew faster than expected, adding to the market volatility.

Despite the release of the hotter-than-expected US PPI data for September, the GBP/USD pair remains sideways near 1.3060. The headline PPI rose by 1.8%, beating estimates of 1.6%, while the core PPI accelerated to 2.8% from 2.6% in August. The uptick in producer inflation suggests that there may not be an immediate victory over inflation in the near term.

The UK economy has shown signs of improvement with the release of positive data. Manufacturing and Industrial Production rose more than expected in August, helping the Pound Sterling outperform its major peers. The economy expanded by 0.2% in August, as monthly factory data exceeded expectations. Annually, both Manufacturing and Industrial Production saw slower declines compared to the previous month.

Traders are optimistic about a potential interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve in the near future, expecting a gradual pace of 25 bps. However, Fed policymakers see more rate cuts as appropriate amidst uncertainties in the labor market strength. The Pound Sterling is expected to be influenced by upcoming UK Employment and Inflation data, which will shape market expectations for BoE’s interest rate actions in November.

The table shows the percentage change of the British Pound against major currencies, with the Pound being strongest against the Japanese Yen. The technical analysis of the Pound Sterling against the US Dollar indicates a recovery from the monthly low, but with a bearish near-term trend. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggests a potential downside, with key resistance and support levels to watch for in the GBP/USD pair.

In conclusion, the Pound Sterling has shown resilience in the face of market volatility, with positive economic data influencing its performance against major currencies. Traders are closely monitoring developments in the UK and US economies, as well as central bank actions, to navigate through the current uncertainties. The upcoming UK data releases and the ongoing negotiations surrounding Brexit will continue to drive movement in the Pound Sterling in the coming weeks.
