Editors’ Picks
GBP/USD clings to recovery gains near 1.2600 ahead of BoE rate decision
GBP/USD holds ground near 1.2600 after declining more than 1% following the Federal Reserve’s hawkish cut on Wednesday. The Pound Sterling gains upward support as the Bank of England is anticipated to keep interest rates unchanged later in the day.
EUR/USD retakes 1.0400 amid the post-Fed recovery
EUR/USD is recovering ground to near 1.0400 in the European session on Thursday. The pair corrects higher, reversing the hawkish Fed rate cut-led losses. Meanwhile, the US Dollar takes a breather ahead of US data releases.
Gold price recovers further from one-month low, climbs to $2,620 amid risk-off mood
Gold price attracts some haven flows in the wake of the post-FOMC sell-off in the equity markets. The Fed’s hawkish outlook lifts the US bond yields to a multi-month high and might the XAU/USD. Traders now look to the US Q3 GDP print for some impetus ahead of the US PCE data on Friday.
BoE expected to stand pat, highlighting gradual approach toward lowering interest rate
The Bank of England is set to keep the interest rate on hold, hinting at 2025 action. UK inflation accelerated further in November, albeit within expectations. GBP/USD trades within a well-limited 200 pips range ahead of the announcement.
Sticky UK services inflation to come lower in 2025
Services inflation is stuck at 5% and will stay around there for the next few months. But further progress, helped by more benign annual rises in index-linked prices in April, should see ‘core services’ inflation fall materially in the spring.
