GBP/USD Weekly Special Report based On 1.00 Lot Calculation:
• THURSDAY, JULY 25 AT 13:30 GMT+1: US GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GDP) (Q2) (first preliminary data). The US Economy grew by 1.4% in Q1 of 2024, down from Q4 of 2023 of 3.4%. If the trend continues on, the US Fed may decide to cut its benchmark interest rate. This could potentially strengthen the GBPUSD pair.
• FRIDAY, JULY 26 AT 13:30 GMT+1: US CORE PCE PRICE INDEX FOR JUNE. The US will be reporting its core PCE price index for June, which is an important inflation metric that the Federal Reserve uses to determine future policy rates. Core PCE has been declining, and further declines could lead to higher rate cut probabilities, which could positively influence the GBPUSD pair.
● EVENT: WEDNESDAY, JULY 31 AT 19:00 GMT+1: US FEDERAL RESERVE INTEREST RATE DECISION. The Federal Reserve Bank will meet on July 31, to set the Fed Funds rate target. According to the most recent estimates, analysts are expecting the Federal Reserve to hold interest rates at the current level of 5.50%, but chances have been rising for a September cut which could push the GBPUSD pair higher.
