GBP/USD slips amid strong US Dollar, hawkish Fed tilt
- GBP/USD falls 0.19% as DXY reclaims 107.00 amid Fed hawkishness.
- UK adds 107K jobs, wage growth jumps 5.9%, but fails to lift Sterling.
- Markets await UK inflation, US housing data, and FOMC minutes for direction.
The Pond Sterling retreated after rallying three consecutive days, dropping some 0.19% even though the UK’s jobs data was solid. Meanwhile, a hawkish tilt by Fed officials and US President Donald Trump's tariffs policies add to uncertainty, underpinning the Greenback. The GBP/USD trades at 1.2602.
Pound retreats despite upbear UK jobs data; traders await inflation data
In the UK, the economy added 107K people to the workforce, exceeding estimates of 50 K. Consequently, the Unemployment Rate in the fourth quarter stood steady at 4.4%, while pay growth, as revealed by Average weekly earnings before bonuses, jumped 5.9%.
Meanwhile, Fed Governor Christopher Waller crossed the wires on Monday, saying that Trump’s tariffs would have a modest impact on prices. His colleague Philadelphia Fed Patrick Harker said he doesn’t see a reason for an imminent change in interest-rate policy.
Harker’s view is closer to the hawkish comments revealed by Fed Chair Jerome Powell's semi-annual testimony to the US Congress, in which he reiterated that the Central Bank is in no rush to ease policy.

In the meantime, the GBP/USD extended its losses as the US Dollar Index (DXY) gains 0.26% and reclaims the 107.00 mark.
Ahead of the day, Fed officials will continue to grab the headlines, though traders are awaiting the UK’s inflation data on February 19, US housing data, and the latest Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes.
GBP/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The GBP/USD is forming a ‘bearish harami’ two-candle chart pattern, which indicates that sellers could drive the exchange rate lower, setting t
heir sights below 1.2600. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is bullish, though aiming slightly lower, indicating that the downside risks remain.
If GBP/USD tumbles below the February 17 low of 1.2577, look for a test of the February 5 high turned support at 1.2549, followed by the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 1.2467. On the other hand, buyers need to drive the exchange rate past 1.2634 so they can challenge the 100-day SMA at 1.2678.

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.
