The GBPUSD surged to a new annual high of 1.2850 as Bank of England (BoE) policymakers prepare for a potential interest rate hike. Meanwhile, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) decided to hold off on an interest rate increase, indicating that the tightening phase is still ongoing. The Pound Sterling remains optimistic as discussions about a pause in the BoE's rate-hike policy continue.
Despite the Fed's neutral interest rate decision, the Pound Sterling continued to strengthen amid concerns about a potential recession in the United States. This positive market sentiment is partly due to the relatively weak performance of the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY). BoE Governor Andrew Bailey is confident that inflation will ease, but it is expected to remain high due to labor shortages and elevated food inflation.
Additionally, the Pound Sterling's trajectory will be influenced by the upcoming announcements of the consumer price index and the interest rate decision. Based on the latest economic developments, there is a general consensus that the Bank of England will further raise interest rates to combat stubborn inflation in the United Kingdom.
