#GBP sees positive momentum #trading #forex #trader #markets #UK

The pound sterling is up by 0.4% this morning versus the US dollar, as appetite for the greenback diminishes ahead of the US CPI data. The day is set to be volatile, as traders cannot rule out a 'hotter' inflation report than expected. Overall, investors are adopting the view that the pound sterling could stage a recovery in the coming months based on the more balanced approach of the new UK PM concerning the UK budget, to regain investor confidence. Lastly, the GBPUSD technical picture, the currency pair is showing a descending triangular pattern, and a break above ~15.5 could suggest more upside, or a break below ~1.13 could see more weakness.
