British Pound (GBP) Price Outlook: GBP/USD Advancing After UK Inflation Data
MongiIG posted a blog entry in Market News,
GBP PRICE, NEWS AND ANALYSIS:
GBP/USD is climbing after UK inflation data for August showed the highest jump on record.
Combined with Tuesday’s strong UK employment numbers, the inflation figures will add to the pressures on the Bank of England to taper its stimulus program and therefore to upwards pressure on GBP.

MongiIG posted a blog entry in Market News,
GBP PRICE, NEWS AND ANALYSIS:
GBP/USD is gaining ground after a strong set of UK labor-market figures that have again focused attention on the Bank of England’s policymakers and whether some will be persuaded that UK monetary policy should be tightened sooner than they previously expected.
Job vacancies rose above one million for the first time since records began as the UK economy continues to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic, while payrolls rose by more than economists had predicted.

British Pound (GBP) Price Outlook: GBP/USD May Suffer From UK Tax Hike Plan
MongiIG posted a blog entry in Market News,
GBP PRICE, NEWS AND ANALYSIS:
GBP/USD could come under downward pressure after its recent advance as UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson faces a backlash from within his own ruling Conservative Party to plans to increase National Insurance to pay for health and social care.
The move would break a Conservative manifesto pledge and bring politics back into play as a factor affecting the Pound, particularly after a report that Johnson plans an October “firebreak” Covid lockdown.
However, Bank of England policymaker Michael Saunders has suggested the UK no longer needs as much monetary stimulus as previously, and that could limit the downside.
