This week's outlook is being updated. The macro drivers below still apply; the new read goes up before the week opens.
Why
- Interest-rate differentials favour the pound.
- Risk sentiment and futures positioning (CFTC COT data) favour the US dollar.
- With the drivers pulling in opposite directions, there is no clear lean going into the week.
Events that can move GBP/USD this week
| Date (UTC) | Time (UTC) | Currency | Event |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tue, Nov 10 | 13:30 | USD | US inflation (CPI) |
| Thu, Nov 12 | 07:00 | GBP | UK GDP |
| Fri, Nov 13 | 13:30 | USD | US producer prices (PPI) |
What drives GBP/USD
GBP/USD follows the gap between Bank of England and Fed rate expectations, so UK inflation and wage data, BoE decisions and the big US releases all carry weight. The pound is more sensitive to risk sentiment than the euro and tends to soften when markets turn defensive. Positioning in pound futures can amplify moves when it gets one-sided.
