Pound Sterling: Barclays, Goldman Sachs Predictions ahead of Bank of England  Rate Hike

GBP/USD FUNDAMENTAL BACKDROP

 

Pound sterling extended its fall this Monday after last week’s hawkish Fed Chair Powell speech at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium. Although this outcome was largely expected by markets, confirmation turned out to highlight the disparities between the UK and U.S. economies respectively. The decline in UK economic data was relayed by Goldman Sachs this morning, echoing the sentiment of the Bank of England (BoE) a few weeks ago that a UK recession in the fourth quarter is expected - a marked revision from their previous outlook.

This being said, money markets remain ardent on a 50bps interest rate hike in the September meeting (see table below) but with the fundamental UK backdrop deteriorating as energy prices weigh on the consumer, I am not sure how much further these hikes will go considering winter is around the corner. It may be prudent to adopt a ‘wait and see’ approach during these winter months for a proper evaluation.

    • Stock Market Indices Overview: S&P 500, NASDAQ 100, RUSSELL 2000, DAX 40, FTSE 100, ASX 200 - Featuring Elliott Wave Technical Analysis Our latest analysis focuses on the key global stock market indices, including the S&P 500, NASDAQ 100, RUSSELL 2000, DAX 40, FTSE 100, and ASX 200, through the lens of Elliott Wave Theory. This approach provides insights into market trends, helping traders identify potential setups for both entry and exit points across these major markets. Elliott Wave Analysis for Major Indices: As we approach the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting in just six days, all eyes are on the U.S. economy. The upcoming PPI (Producer Price Index) figures represent the final significant economic data point that the Federal Reserve will consider before making its next rate decision. The market's reaction to this data could set the tone for how the major indices move in the short term. At present, I am analyzing two possible wave counts for the indices: 1. Wave (2) Low in Place: This scenario suggests that the corrective wave has completed, and the market is now poised to rally higher. 2. Wave (2) Not Yet Complete: Alternatively, there is still room for further downside before Wave (2) concludes. Currently, I lean toward the bullish scenario, as the price action in leading stocks like Amazon (AMZN) and Microsoft (MSFT) suggests underlying strength in the broader market. However, I remain flexible in my outlook, awaiting further confirmation from key market movements and the PPI data to finalize this wave structure.
