GBP/USD - Prices, Charts, and Analysis

  • A 50bp hike would be the largest increase since 1995.
  • S&P Global/CIPS Services PMI missed first estimates.
  • The US Dollar grabs a small bid.

The Bank of England is expected to hike interest rates for the sixth consecutive meeting on Thursday as the central bank continues to grapple with soaring inflation. The UK central bank is seen hiking the Bank Rate by 50 basis points, the largest increase since 1995. A 50bp hike would take the UK borrowing rate to 1.75%, the highest level in over 14 years. The Bank of England has said that they expect UK inflation to hit double-figures at the end of Q3/start of Q4. A recent report by the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) forecast that UK inflation would hit 11% and that the UK central bank would have to lift the Bank Rate to 3% to bring price pressures under control.

    • Apeiron, a revolutionary God Game with NFTs, is a standout example of innovation in the GameFi space. Its play-to-earn model and tri-token economy offer a fresh and exciting gaming experience. Its features, such as its God Game simulation and NFT ownership mechanics, are definitely worth exploring, in my opinion. The Play-and-earn token and breeding system aim to create a thriving and sustainable ecosystem. How does Apeiron stack up against other GameFi projects like PIXEL and BIGTIME? Each has its own unique approach to blockchain gaming. Apeiron's emphasis on sustainability and community-driven growth is a key aspect of its design. I'll be looking to acquire their token, $APRS, on Bitget's PooLX soon. What are your thoughts on Apeiron's approach to blockchain gaming? Do you think we'll see a resurgence of GameFi projects in the coming months?
    • This upcoming launch has been the talk of the town in the crypto world late.  With significant backing and partnerships, it's poised to be a major player in the DeFi space. I applaud the premarket trading initiative by Bitget.
    • The above exchange focusing on educating younger generations about blockchain is a positive step. Equipping them with these skills will be important as this technology continues to develop. And yes, any platform that helps nurture young talent and foster a more connected future through blockchain is worth celebrating
