Note

GBP/USD lost more than 100 pips on Thursday and erased all the gains it recorded in the first half of the week. Early Friday, the pair staged a rebound and stabilized above 1.2200.

Note

US Treasury bond yields surged higher on Thursday after the September inflation report and helped the US Dollar (USD) outperform its rivals.

Note

Gu is decreasing as expected, the possibility of continued decline in the next week.

Note

If US yields continue to push lower in the second half of the day, the USD could stay on the back foot and allow GBP/USD to stretch higher ahead of the weekend. On the flip side, a cautious opening in Wall Street alongside recovering US yields could weigh on the pair.

Note

Although the US Bureau of Labor Statistics announced that the annual Core Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, edged lower to 4.1% from 4.3% as forecast in September, underlying details of the report revived expectations for one more Federal Reserve rate increase later in the year. The so-called 'supercore inflation' increased 0.6% on a monthly basis, highlighting a lack of progress in the sticky part of inflation.
