GBP/USD Weekly Special Report based On 1.00 Lot Calculation:
● EVENT (UK GENERAL ELECTION - JULY 4, 2024): Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called a parliamentary election for July 4, which analysts said removed a degree of political uncertainty from the picture for traders. The opposition Labour Party has held a lead over the Conservatives of around 20 points in opinion polls since late 2021. Markets reacted positively to the announcement. This event could lend further support for the GBPUSD pair.
● EVENT: FRIDAY, JULY 5 AT 13:30 GMT+1: US NFP & UNEMPLOYMENT. The United States will be reporting NFP and Unemployment data later this week. Should NFP come in lower than expected and/or Unemployment come in higher than expected, this could weaken the USD and strengthen the GBPUSD pair.
● EVENT: THURSDAY, JULY 11 AT 13:30 GMT+1: US CPI DATA FOR JUNE. The United States will be reporting CPI data. The US CPI has been trending lower, well below its 2022 peak of 9.1%. The most recent print showed CPI at 3.3%. Should the CPI come in lower than expected, the USD may be expected to weaken which could provide support for the GBPUSD pair.
TECHNICAL REVIEW
The GBPUSD pair is currently trading at the lower end of a one month trading range between 1.2600 and 1.2800 (currently at 1.2620). The pair has not tended to stay at these levels for too long, bouncing back up to the 1.2800 level four times in a one month period. Should the GBPUSD pair rebound again to these levels this would present an upside potential of around 15%. However the price could also decline further.
