GBPUSD behind the Scene Factors
This week, the Fed adopted a little more aggressive stance by maintaining interest rates as 5.00–5.25. While increasing the estimated endpoint rate in the Dot Plot to 50 bps. As that meeting, the FOMC resolved to put off deciding if to raise interest rates in July. In order to obtain more data. They might be correct in being cautious given the recent NFP report’s weak specifics. The ISM -PMI data, with the CPI figure’s persistent and elevated core inflation.
Powell, the chair of the Fed, stated that its July meeting is “on the spot” during a press briefing. Yet refrained from making promises in advance. After the Dot Plot came out, investors immediately bought up the US dollar. But after Powell’s presser started, it quickly fell down to its earlier levels.
Given the most recent extremely hot job report which revealed a strangely rapid rise in pay expansion. The BoE is on pace for continuing hiking rates of interest. This resulted in a policy disparity among the Fed with the BoE that eventually benefited the GBP. Due to the Fed’s halt plus the poor statistics.
