Pound dips as US inflation surges
Inflation reaccelerates in the US, as the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reveals. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose above 3% YoY for the first time since June 2024. Month-over-month (MoM) figures jumped 0.5%, up from December’s 0.4%. In the meantime, excluding volatile items, CPI increased by 3.3% YoY from 3.2%, and MoM expanded by 0.4%, up from 0.2%, exceeding estimates of 0.3%.
After the data, investors expect the first rate cut until September, according to data from Prime Market Terminal. The swaps market had priced in 20 basis points of easing toward the September 17 meeting, down from last week’s 45 bps.

GBP/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook
GBP/USD price action indicates the pair remains tilted to the downside but is set to consolidate within the 1.2330 - 1.2450 area. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggests that momentum remains bearish, opening the door for further selling pressure in the pair.
A daily close below 1.2400 could sponsor a leg toward the February 11 low of 1.2332, followed by the February 3 low of 1.2248. On further weakness, 1.22000 is up next. Conversely, if GBP/USD rises past 1.2400 and challenges the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 1.2475, the exchange rate could aim towards 1.2500.

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
