GBP/USD fluctuates between 1.2415 and 1.2420 in the early hours of Wednesday's crucial session as bulls struggle to maintain control. This reflects a cautious outlook advance of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) for March and the minutes from the most recent Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) Monetary Policy Meeting. The speech of Bank of England (BoE) Governor Andrew Bailey is also crucial to monitor.

 

The most recent Bloomberg headlines indicate, however, that the British labor market is no longer constrained. "For the first time in two years, the number of people available for work in the United Kingdom increased, easing one of the tightest labor markets in more than a decade," reported the news.

 

In a similar vein, Reuters reported optimistic UK housing prices, allowing GBP/USD buyers to remain optimistic prior to high-profile data events. Reuters reported on Wednesday that British housing sales recovered to within a whisker of pre-crisis levels in March, signifying a rebound from September, when the failed economic plan of former prime minister Liz Truss caused market turmoil.

 

Recently, Neel Kashkari, president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, stated, "The inflation target of 2% should not be changed." However, other Fed policymakers have recently signaled divergent concerns, which has depressed the Cable investors. President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, Patrick Harker, stated that the Federal Reserve will continue to scrutinize available data to determine if additional action is required. John Williams, president of the New York Fed, had previously stated that interest rates will need to be lowered if inflation declines. In addition, the president of the Chicago Fed, Austan Goolsbee, stated on Tuesday that they should be cautious about increasing interest rates in light of recent developments in the banking sector.

 

In its January report, the IMF lowered its forecast for global real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth for 2023 from 2.9% to 2.8%. However, the international lender defends the efforts of the main central banks to combat inflation and gives GBP/USD pair traders no substantial indications.

 

After Wall Street's muddled close, S&P 500 Futures remain directionless in this environment, while US Treasury bond yields rise and encourage US Dollar sellers.

 

To thwart GBP/USD investors, the FOMC Minutes must defend the rate hike path. The meeting between US President Joe Biden and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in Northern Ireland is also notable. (NI).
