The post GBP flat vs. USD with clear post-CPI stabilization – Scotiabank appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Pound Sterling (GBP) is trading flat against the US Dollar (USD) and a mid-performer among the G10 currencies, consolidating in a tight range around 1.3350, Scotiabank’s Chief FX Strategists Shaun Osborne and Eric Theoret report. Sentiment is somewhat recovering “CBI sentiment data were mixed, and market participants remain focused on the BoE following Wednesday’s CPI disappointment. The GBP has recovered a portion of Wednesday’s CPI-driven decline and BoE expectations have recovered somewhat. The short-term rates market remains biased to BoE easing however, pricing in 9bpts for the next meeting on November 6, 17bpts by year end, and a cumulative 60bpts by next September.” “UK -US spreads are showing signs of stabilization following Wednesday’s plunge, while risk reversals are offering a potential source of support as the options market shows a continued fade in the premium for protection against GBP weakness. Finally, the UK’s fiscal situation remains a concern as media remain intensely focused on potential measures to be included in the November 26 budget release. “The GBP’s technicals are generally neutral as it softens with its recent local range bound between last week’s low around 1.3250 and last Friday’s high above 1.3450. The RSI is bearish, but only marginally so as its drifts toward 40. The broader trend is neutral, reflecting the flat range since late May. The 50 day MA (1.3465) confirms the lack of a trend, having flattened out in midJuly. We look to a near-term range between 1.33 and 1.34.” Source: https://www.fxstreet.com/news/gbp-flat-vs-usd-with-clear-post-cpi-stabilization-scotiabank-202510231418The post GBP flat vs. USD with clear post-CPI stabilization – Scotiabank appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

The Federal Reserve, the central bank of the United States, is expected to begin slashing interest rates on Wednesday, with analysts expecting a 25 basis point (BPS) cut and a boost to risk asset prices in the long term.Crypto prices are strongly correlated with liquidity cycles, Coin Bureau founder and market analyst Nic Puckrin said. However, while lower interest rates tend to raise asset prices long-term, Puckrin warned of a short-term price correction.  “The main risk is that the move is already priced in, Puckrin said, adding, “hope is high and there’s a big chance of a ‘sell the news’ pullback. When that happens, speculative corners, memecoins in particular, are most vulnerable.”Read more
