Will GBP/USD rebound lasts?
“UK’s inflation hit its highest level in 40 years, tightening looms but expects moderation.”
Pound sterling stages its rebound from lower level, buoyed by recent release of economic data in UK. Yesterday, annual data shows that CPI rose 9.4%, well above consensus of 9.3%. While the number remains at its highest level in 4 decades, it is unlikely to steer the path of policy tightening by Bank of England. BoE is likely to adopt a safer route ahead as Brexit headwinds has yet to subside.
