GBP/USD forecast pound dollar for today and June 14 - 15, 2021
The rise in inflation in the United States to its maximum value since 2008 of 5.0% per annum was unexpected for many investors. Core inflation rose to 3.8% per year, the highest since 1992. Markets reacted ambiguously, as the US Federal Reserve will have the final say on the current inflation situation.
Today the pound is supported by the released macroeconomic statistics on the UK. GDP in April grew by 2.3% (against the forecast of 2.2%). The volume of industrial production in April in annual terms remains at a high level of 27.5%, but below expectations of 30.5%. On a monthly basis, the indicator showed a decrease of 1.3%, although an increase of 1.2% was expected. In the context of economic recovery, a slight decline in production after the previous growth is not critical.
Support and resistance levels
Long-term uptrend. The target is to update the annual high and rise to the level of 1.4335. In order to achieve this goal, buyers need to break through the level of 1.4205.
