➡️ The anticipation for a reduction in interest rates by the Bank of England in 2024 remains steady, albeit now leaning towards a decrease of approximately 75 basis points. The central bank appears intent on tempering exaggerated market expectations regarding a forthcoming interest rate cut. Given that the enduring impacts of previous interest rate hikes have yet to permeate the economy, there is an anticipation of subdued economic growth in the future. This is expected to provide considerable support for the pound; however, the immediate trajectory of UK government bond yields remains uncertain.
➡️ Observing the GBP/USD pair, it is evident that the currency continues its downward fluctuations following a recovery, currently tracking below the 48-hour moving average on the H4 chart. Concurrently, the MACD double line and histogram bar display a downward momentum expansion around the zero axis once again, indicating a continued short-term decline for GBP/USD.
