SpanishSterling Trades Marginally Higher Ahead of U.K.’s CPI data, 40+ PIP Volatility Likely in GBP Parities; Aug 17, 2022
U.K. CPI
Today U.K. has scheduled to release various key economic indicators but the most important will be U.K.’s CPI data scheduled at 0600 GMT/1130 IST. Consumer prices account for a majority of overall inflation. Inflation is important to currency valuation because rising prices lead the central bank to raise interest rates out of respect for their inflation containment mandate. Here the average price of various goods and services are sampled and then compared to the sampling done a year earlier.
Let’s see how GBP has reacted during the previous data release:

Technical View:
GBP/USD:
- The sterling recovers sharply from previous losses and jumps back above $1.2100 mark.
