British Pound Rallies into BoE Rate Decision
Headlines: British Pound Rallies into BoE Rate Decision
ActionForex News
The Bank of England is expected to leave interest rates on hold today, but the rally in the British pound over the past few days suggests that some traders may keep the long position on the sterling and wait for a surprise move of the central bank to raise the interest rate by a quarter percent and set up the short term rate to the level of 6.00 percent. Compared to the rest of the world, the UK economy is certainly standing on stronger footing.
Yesterday, manufacturing PMI surged to a 3 year high, which comes in sharp contrast to the deterioration in the US ISM index. Output prices hit the highest level in 15 years, indicating that inflation is still a big concern. Even if they do not raise rates, this suggests that Bank of England Governor King will continue to hold onto his hawkish bias when he delivers their Quarterly Inflation report next week.
The following technical analysis gives us a detailed lookout on what is expected to happen to the pair.
The buying point of GBP/USD is at 2.0288; based on a strong support and a failure of making lower then the previous support at 2.0203.
The momentum oscillator is very important to understand the strength of the market and as we see on the graph; it break the zero line. The Stochastic oscillator breaks 20% line and moving upwards. Most of the indicators show us the strength of the sterling against the US dollars.
