GBPUSD: Bullish Momentum as the Market Anticipate Fed Rate Cuts

Updated
Inflation & Interest Rate

According to the Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) metric, inflation declined from 2.9% in October to 2.6% in November. Forecasts suggest a projected 2.4% inflation rate in 2024, attributed to a more stringent monetary policy and decreased international commodity prices. Notably, 17 out of 19 Federal Reserve officials anticipate a lower policy rate by the end of 2024, with the median projection indicating a three-quarters of a percentage point decrease from the current range. The prospect of reduced interest rates tends to discourage foreign investment, thereby decreasing the currency's relative value. Consequently, we anticipate a weakening dollar and a bullish outlook for GBPUSD .
