The GBP/USD pair is experiencing a rise in buying activity beneath the psychological mark of 1.2700 in the early stages of the Asian session, supported by a weakened US Dollar. The US Bureau of Economic Analysis released Q3 growth data, indicating a rise to 5.2%, exceeding market expectations of 5.0%. However, Federal Reserve Governor Michelle Bowman's comments, expressing a desire for additional rate hikes, introduce an element of uncertainty regarding the longevity of inflationary pressures, a concern echoed by Fed Governor Christopher Waller earlier this week.
Investor attention is now turning to the Core Personal Consumption Expenditure Price Index (PCE) for October, with forecasts anticipating a decline in both the monthly and annual Core PCE to 0.2% and 3.5%, respectively. These figures could potentially influence future decisions by the Federal Reserve. Meanwhile, in the UK, Bank of England (BoE) Governor Andrew Bailey stated on Wednesday that the central bank is committed to taking necessary measures to bring inflation down to its 2% target, highlighting the need for continued progress before expressing confidence in the situation.
