💵💵💵EUR/USD Analysis
GBP/USD has managed to recover from recent losses, trading slightly above the psychological level of 1.2200. However, the pair faces challenges due to optimistic economic data emerging from the United States.
US Economic Data:
The US Consumer Price Index (CPI), revealed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, surpassed expectations in September, with a stable 3.7% year-on-year growth, slightly exceeding the estimated 3.6%. Additionally, the weekly Initial Unemployment Claims data ending on October 6 showed a nuanced trend. While the modest increase of 209K claims was slightly lower than the forecast of 210K, indicating subtle easing.
On Thursday, US Producer Price Index (PPI) data revealed an increase in September compared to the same period last year, rising from 2.0% to 2.2%. The core PPI rose to 2.7% from the expected 2.3%.
Fed's Policy Discourse:
Discussions are active regarding the Federal Reserve's (Fed) monetary policy trajectory following a series of optimistic economic data releases this week. Market participants closely monitor these discussions for potential shifts in Fed's policy stance.
UK Economic Data:
Contrarily, economic data from the United Kingdom failed to inspire confidence in the British Pound (GBP) on Thursday. Industrial and Manufacturing Production figures fell short of expectations, with Manufacturing Output decreasing by 0.8% in August, missing the forecasted 0.4% decline. Industrial Production for the same period also fell by 0.7% instead of the predicted 0.2% drop. Previous figures were revised to a 1.1% decrease. While the UK's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in August met expectations at 0.2%, the previous month was adjusted to a 0.6% decline. These mixed economic indicators failed to impact market sentiment significantly concerning the British Pound.
Bank of England's Stance:
Last week, the Bank of England (BoE) revised its growth forecast for the July to September period from 0.4% down to a mere 0.1%, indicating minimal signs of any further interest rate hikes in the near future.
Conclusion:
GBP/USD continues to fluctuate around 1.2200, influenced by both US economic optimism and UK's mixed economic data. The pair remains susceptible to shifts in market sentiment based on evolving economic indicators and central bank policies, requiring traders to remain vigilant and adaptable in their strategies.
