GBP/USD- Trading the U.K. Consumer Price Report

Dollar Retreats Before Key Fed Officials Weigh In On QE3

Trading the News: U.K. Consumer Price Index

What’s Expected:

Time of release: 05/21/2013 8:30 GMT, 4:30 EDT

Primary Pair Impact: GBPUSD

Expected: 2.6%

Previous: 2.8%

Daily Forecast: 2.6% to 2.8%

Why Is This Event Important:

The headline reading for U.K. inflation is expected to increase an annualized 2.6% in April following the 2.8% expansion the month prior, and easing price pressures may dampen the appeal of the British Pound as it raises the Bank of England’s (BoE) scope to further embark on quantitative easing. However, as the region is expected to face above-target inflation over the policy horizon, we may see the BoE switch gears later this year, and the central bank may start to discuss a tentative exit strategy in the second-half of 2013 as the economic recovery slowly picks up.
