GBPUSD trading plan:
British inflation surged to its highest in more than 10 years in November, jumping to 5.1%. Price pressure from a broad range of consumer goods and services - but especially petrol, clothing and footwear. Inflation has soared globally this year due to higher energy prices and COVID-related supply-chain bottlenecks. In Britain, post-Brexit trade and migration barriers have also caused problems. The BoE has said interest rates will almost certainly need to rise to bring down inflation pressures, but held off on a widely expected move last month due to uncertainty about the impact of the end of the government's job furlough programme. This is a positive signal for the British currency!
Investment idea: buy 1.3239 and take profit 1.3305.
