GBP/USD Price Forecast: Finds ground slightly below 20-day EMA

The British Pound (GBP) is marginally higher at around 1.3545 against the US Dollar (USD) during the European trading session on Monday. The GBP/USD pair rebounds as the US Dollar corrects after a strong upside move on Friday.

As of writing, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which gauges the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, trades 0.15% lower to near 99.53. The US Dollar gained significantly on Friday, following a speech from Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Kevin Warsh at the Jackson Hole Symposium, where he warned of upside inflation risks. Read more...

The US Dollar (USD) pauses after Friday's strong move up to a nearly two-week high amid month-end rebalancing and acts as a tailwind for the GBP/USD pair. The British Pound (GBP), on the other hand, draws support from UK Chancellor John Healey's emphasis on maintaining fiscal discipline as the top priority for Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s government ahead of the Autumn Budget on October 28.
