GBP Breaking News: Mixed UK PMI Data, Pound Bid but Not Out of the Woods

POUND STERLING ANALYSIS & TALKING POINTS

  • UK PMI’s saw services data lift GBP/USD.
  • Hawkish Jackson Hole could add to pound woes.

GBP/USD FUNDAMENTAL BACKDROP

Input prices have soared globally and this is no different within the UK as manufacturers felt the pinch. Manufacturing PMI’s headed into contractionary territory for the first time since May 2020 but saw minimal downside reaction from GBP with services data marginally outperforming estimates. The reaction function from sterling makes logical sense as roughly 80% of UK GDP is generated from the services sector, hence cable finding some bids. This being said, the composite figure (50.9) remains marginally within the expansionary domain highlighting the declining state of the UK economy which does not bode well for the pound should this trajectory continue.

    • I am yet to explore the app, but knowing the exchange for its innovativeness and user centeredness, i am optimistic it will further enhance users experience. I'm gonna check it out and also refer some colleague of mine to explore the earning opportunities it comes with.
    • I'm thrilled about my recent purchase of JTO tokens on Bitget, and I see them playing a pivotal role in shaping the future of Jito Network. The innovative features and capabilities offered by JTO tokens indicate a promising trajectory for the network. With its decentralized nature and robust technology, Jito Network has the potential to revolutionize various industries, especially in the realm of decentralized finance (DeFi). The transparency and security provided by JTO tokens are impressive, and I believe they will contribute to the network's widespread adoption, establishing it as a key player in the blockchain space. As the Jito Network continues to evolve and gain traction, my investment in JTO tokens seems poised to become an integral part of a transformative journey in the world of decentralized technologies.
    • H4 Time Frame: Made an interesting observation. Looks like gold is in "Cycle Pattern #2"... Daily Time Frame: Gold is currently challenging cyclical support - an important level, a closing below would suggest a further decline, unless price creates a bearish reversal by immediately closing back inside the cycle. If this happens, we will have a low or temporarily low in place.
