Pound Sterling Price News and Forecast: GBP/USD set to reclaim 200-DMA in the Thanksgiving week

GBPUSD Weekly Forecast: Pound Sterling set to reclaim 200-DMA in the Thanksgiving week

GBPUSD buyers remained unstoppable for the second straight week, despite a lack of bullish impetus from the highly-anticipated United Kingdom Autumn Budget.

GBPUSD clings to gains near 1.1900 amid softer USD, lacks bullish conviction

The GBPUSD pair sticks to its modest intraday gains through the early European session and is currently placed around the 1.1900 round-figure mark. As investors look past a rather unimpressive UK government £55 billion fiscal plan, as outlined in the Autumn budget, a combination of factors assists the GBPUSD pair to regain positive traction on the last day of the week. Expectations that the Bank of England will continue raising rates to combat stubbornly high inflation act as a tailwind for the British Pound.

GBPUSD grinds higher toward 1.1880 as traders eye US Existing Home Sales

The British Pound (GBP) edges north of 1.1880 amidst a risk-on impulse, as shown by equity futures in the United States climbing with no fundamental reason after a slew of Federal Reserve (Fed) officials signaled rates would continue to rise. At the time of writing, the GBPUSD is trading at 1.1882, above its opening price by 0.35%, capitalizing on broad US Dollar (USD) weakness. Read more...

GBP/USD: Gains remain capped below 1.3400 ahead of US PPI

Gold steadies above YTD low on softer USD; bearish bias remains amid Fed hike bets

Gold fades a modest Asian session bounce to the $4,118 region, though it manages to hold above the lowest level since November 2025. A softer Core US Consumer Price Index eased concerns about a runaway inflation spiral, weighing on the US Dollar and prompting some intraday short-covering around the precious metal.

XRP and XLM: Mild recovery attempts emerge amid mixed market signals

Ripple (XRP) and Stellar (XLM) show mild signs of recovery on Thursday after extending losses earlier this week. XRP is holding above the $1.10 level as bearish momentum begins to fade, while XLM has bounced modestly from a key support zone.

Oil is trading shadows on a radar screen

The oil market is no longer trading a clean barrel count. It is trading shadows on a radar screen, tankers running dark, missiles in the air, diplomacy wearing a flak jacket, and every macro desk trying to decide whether the Strait of Hormuz is merely impaired or about to become the fuse that relights the inflation trade.

4.2% headline, 0.2% core: Why the Fed's next hike may be targeting the wrong problem

May's CPI put headline inflation at 4.2% on the year, up from 3.8% in April and the hottest reading since April 2023, while core prices rose just 0.2% on the month, undershooting the 0.3% consensus and halving April's pace.
