The GBP is currently certainly not the weakest currency (in fact I expect further gains against EUR, JPY, CHF etc.) - especially after wage data that showed that wages in UK growth the fastest on record over the three months to June. Headline earnings growth surged to 8.2% from 7.2% and well above expectations of 7.3% - also excluding bonuses, wages grew much faster than expected.
At the same time, however, we saw UK unemployment rate increasing to 4.2% from 4.0%. That's the highest levels since October 2021 and shows some cooling in the labor market.
Bond yields in the UK have cooled down again and are now trading just 1.5 basis points higher (10-y gilt) than the previous day. While bond yields in the US also fell and are now almost unchanged, the USD will benefit from hopes of a soft landing as another key US economic indicator - retail sales - came in robust and above expectations.
Following inflation data report earlier today, we are seing a decline in GBP/USD gains and expect the pair to move back towards 1.27000 (and below). We expect rising resistance at 1.27500. Investors suspect UK inflation figures will have a little less importance on today's wage inflation, which is somehow also a lagging factor after the extreme inflation in the UK.

When I joined the Rally family, I had zero knowledge about forex. I attended their seminars and lectures and it was a thorough and quality experience. Talking about my success in forex , it’s a steady process , I’ve enjoyed lots of profits and a few losses. I’m grateful for the rally trade foundation I have, I look to grow from under the wings of Rally.

I am so much impressed not by anybody's action or motivation to pronounce my encounter with rally trade company. I would love to say this company has done so much in my life; personally. I listen to a radio station programme about a seminar/training on how to trade forex, I planned to attend though I don't believe it will work for me. After the training I got a call from one of Rally trade staff, in person of Tamuno who done so much to convince me to go in for the trade. This young girl have been so impacting since I stated the trade and she has never for once ignore my request for support and advice; I so much appreciate you...
