What's Driving GBP/USD

By Gary Howes, Editor

  • 🇺🇸 Pound Sterling Live forecasts GBP/USD extending its recovery towards the falling 100-day average this week, inside a broader USD-led trend
  • GBP/USD rose on 20 October after the UK jobs report, building on a rebound from a test of the 2026 low at 1.3140 in the week of 12 October
  • UK unemployment fell to 4.7% in the three months to August against a 5.0% consensus, and regular pay growth quickened to 3.7%, beating the 3.6% expected
  • Markets already priced better than 90% odds of a Bank of England hike on 5 November, and the jobs beat makes it harder for the Bank to step back
  • Commonwealth Bank of Australia: US 10-year yields fell 30bp in the tech-led bond rally, a reflection of excessive bearishness, and lower yields weigh on USD
  • 📊 The falling 100-day exponential moving average at 1.3388 is the natural objective for GBP/USD's rebound
  • 1.3302 and 1.3274, old GBP/USD resistance turned support, should cushion dips, and a daily close beneath 1.3274 would change the near-term call
  • 🔭 Pound Sterling Live's medium-term forecast is for USD strength to persist while the 100-day caps a pair making lower highs since August's 1.3676 peak
  • CIBC Capital Markets: USD to strengthen on a medium-term view, driven by AI-related capital inflows into the US and an elevated US neutral rate
  • September UK inflation on 21 October, consensus 3.4%, is the next test for GBP
  • Crédit Agricole: current Bank of England hike pricing is excessive, leaving many BoE positives already in GBP's price
