The GBP/USD pair is hitting resistance near the immediate barrier of 1.1360 during the Tokyo session. The barriers surrounding 1.1360 seem to be thinning as market participants' risk tolerance increases. After two straight strong trading days, S&P500 futures have continued to increase their gains in the Tokyo session. After overcoming the aforementioned challenge, the pound bulls will grow stronger.

 

The US dollar index (DXY), which is now doing poorly, is circling about 112.00. The value of the asset can drop even further as a result of a decline in the demand for safe-haven assets. In contrast, despite the Fed's heightened hawkishness, US bond returns continue to be strong. The 10-year US Treasury yields have advanced over 4.01% as of the time of writing.

 

The likelihood of a fourth consecutive 75 basis point (bps) rate increase announcement is roughly 96%, according to the CME FedWatch tool.

 

According to Reuters, Neel Kashkari, president of the Minneapolis Fed Bank, said on Tuesday in response to escalating inflationary pressures, "Until I see some compelling indication that core inflation has at least peaked, I am not willing to pronounce a pause in rate hikes."

 

The rate of inflation hasn't changed much as a result of ongoing Fed rate rises. Although the core Consumer Price Index (CPI) is well-anchored due to rising service sector pricing, the headline CPI has declined as a result of decreasing fuel prices.

 

On the British front, the Bank of England (BOE) announced on November 1 that the Asset Purchase Facility will include its bond-selling program (APF). Market liquidity will decrease as a result.

 

In the UK, political unrest is at an all-time high as a result of the government's lack of confidence in Prime Minister Liz Truss. If given the opportunity to vote again, Rishi Sunak, who lost to Ms. Truss, would receive 55% of the Tory members' votes, while Ms. Truss would receive only 25%.

 

Future course will depend on the inflation figures released by the United Kingdom on Wednesday. Forecasts suggest that the headline and core inflation rates could both rise by 10 basis points, to 10% and 6.4%, respectively. An increase in inflation reaching double digits could pose new challenges for the British economy.
