GBPUSD:
The GBP/USD pair saw a notable increase in value on Monday, reaching 1.2970 amid a weaker US dollar in Asian trading hours. The US dollar (USD) continues to face selling pressure following the release of weaker-than-expected US Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) data for October, which provided some support for the major pair.
Following a 50-basis-point cut to rates in September, the US Federal Reserve (Fed) is anticipated to implement a further 25-basis-point reduction in its discount rate at its November meeting. The probability of this outcome is estimated by the markets to be around 97%. The US dollar is experiencing a decline as traders anticipate the US presidential election and the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision this week.
Analysts anticipate that Donald Trump's policies on immigration, tax cuts and tariffs will exert upward pressure on inflation, Treasury yields and the US dollar, while Kamala Harris is regarded as a potential successor. "There is a widespread view that a Trump victory would have a positive effect on the US dollar, although many believe that such an outcome has already been priced in," said Chris Weston, an analyst at brokerage Pepperstone.
Conversely, the Bank of England (BoE) is expected to reduce interest rates on Thursday, despite predictions that the Labour budget could result in higher inflation in the UK next year. Market sentiment is that the Bank of England will announce its second 25 bp rate cut this year, taking it down to 4.75 per cent.
Trading recommendation: We follow the level of 1.3000, if it is fixed above we consider Buy positions, if it bounces back we consider Sell positions.
