GBP/USD Forecast: Pound Sterling rally loses steam after UK inflation data

GBP/USD registered impressive gains on Tuesday and rose above 1.2500 for the first time in two months. With the Pound Sterling losing some interest following the UK inflation data early Wednesday, the pair erased a small portion of its recent gains.

The UK's Office for National Statistics reported that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 4.6% on a yearly basis in October, much softer than the 6.7% increase recorded in September. In the same period, the Retail Price Index rose 6.1%, compared to 8.9% in September, and the Producer Price Index - Input declined 2.6%. Read more...

Pound Sterling aims recovery as upbeat mood outweighs soft UK inflation

The Pound Sterling (GBP) faced a nominal sell-off after refreshing a two-month high as price pressures in the UK economy softened significantly in October.

The GBP/USD pair surrendered nominal gains after a soft inflation report but broader demand is strong due to the improved risk appetite of the market participants. The appeal for risk-perceived assets increased significantly after easing consumer inflation in the US economy and elevated hopes of no more interest rate increases from the Federal Reserve (Fed).
