What moves GBP/USD in our reading

GBP/USD reacts to both Bank of England and Federal Reserve news. The platform reads the dollar, yields, risk appetite and the pair's own momentum, and tracks scheduled US and UK releases.

  • US dollar (weight 30): a rise in us dollar counts as a headwind.
  • Treasury yields (weight 15): a rise in treasury yields counts as support.
  • Risk appetite (stocks) (weight 15): a rise in risk appetite (stocks) counts as support.
  • Risk barometer (AUD/JPY) (weight 10): a rise in risk barometer (aud/jpy) counts as a headwind.
  • GBP/USD momentum (weight 30): a rise in gbp/usd momentum counts as support.
