Pound holds steady despite strongest UK growth in over two years, Currencies Direct says

By Public Technologies
  • The pound traded sideways despite the strongest UK growth in over two years, as investors saw little reason for faster monetary tightening.
  • The US dollar hit a year-to-date high Thursday on Federal Reserve tightening expectations, before losing momentum as jobless claims exceeded forecasts.
  • A slowdown in US producer price growth could temper expectations for a 50-basis-point Fed rate hike next month, potentially weakening the dollar.
  • The euro remained subdued as investors expected the European Central Bank to maintain a more measured policy approach than the Fed.
