Fundamental Analysis

* Declining Odds: The pound sterling extend its losses against the greenback following the release of U.S PCE Price Index data which reduce expectation of Fed rate cut bets. The PCE inflation report showed that the core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, came in with 2.6%, slower than estimates of 2.7%. On a month-on-month basis, the underlying inflation rose by 0.2%, as expected. Currently, financial market participants expect that the Fed is almost certain to start reducing interest rates in September. However, signs of stickiness in price pressures from the PCE inflation data have diminished bets supporting the Fed to start the policy-easing cycle aggressively. According to the CME FedWatch tool, the likelihood of a 50 basis points (bps) interest rate reduction has reduced to 30.5% from 36% recorded a week ago.

Technical Analysis

* Technical Breakout: GBPUSD was traded lower following prior breakout below the previous support level 1.31450. MACD which illustrate ongoing bearish momentum signal suggest the pair to likely further extend its losses

* Resistance and Support: If the bearish momentum persists, there’s a strong likelihood that the price will potentially head towards 1.30450. Conversely, a potential reversal is also to be expected and the price could head back towards 1.32650 after it breach back above the level at 1.31450.
