Back to Live CommentaryPound Sterling capitalizes on improved market mood, decline in US Dollar
By TradeRadius | Mon, 29 Apr 2024 10:53:15 UTC
The Pound Sterling (GBP) prints a fresh two-week high against the US Dollar (USD) near 1.2550 in Monday’s London session. The GBP/USD pair advances due to cheerful market sentiment and a decline in the US Dollar. The Cable strengthens as mixed guidance from Bank of England (BoE) policymakers over the inflation outlook increases uncertainty about when the BoE will start its interest rate cuts cycle.
BoE Deputy Governor Dave Ramsden said in mid-April that the risks of inflation remaining elevated have receded. Ramsden predicted headline inflation would return to the 2% target in May and said it would likely remain at this level for the next two years.
On the contrary, a few other BoE policymakers, such as Chief Economist Huw Pill, Jonathan Haskel, and Catherine Mann, aren’t that optimistic about the inflation outlook. Most of them have referred to the core Consumer Price Index (CPI) as the preferred measure for decision-making on interest rates, which is still high due to stubborn service inflation. Last week, Pill said: “Time for cutting bank rate remains some way off.”
Financial markets are expecting that the BoE will pivot to rate cuts in the June or August meeting. "It is between June and August, and we are leaning slightly towards August on the basis that one of the key things the BoE is looking at is service inflation," said James Smith, an economist at ING Financial Markets. "If services inflation is a little bit stickier, I think that tilts the balance a little bit further towards August over June, but it's a pretty close call, to be honest", he added.

Technical Analysis: Pound Sterling moves higher above 1.2500
The Pound Sterling recovers losses registered in the last weeks and hovers near the neckline of the Head and Shoulder chart pattern. The neckline of the above-mentioned pattern is plotted from December 8 low around 1.2500.
The GBP/USD pair attempts to sustain above the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), at around 1.2510. The 200-day EMA, at 1.2550, is acting as a major barrier for the Pound Sterling bulls.
The 14-period Relative Strength Index (RSI) shifts into the 40.00-60.00 range, suggesting a consolidation ahead.
