British Pound Drops on Dovish Rate Hike Vote - BOE ENGLAND
The reason for the committee’s dovish tilt away from the more hawkish voting pattern which had been expected was, as the Bank stated, the economic impact of the war in Ukraine
and resulting inflation fears, which has knocked stock markets and is likely to have some negative impact upon economic growth in European nations such as the UK. However, it could also be argued that a likely impact of the war in Ukraine is a commodities price shock, which should feed into yet higher inflation, which would then logically require higher rates from the Bank of England to bring inflation back down towards its target level of 2%.
British inflation is currently running at an annualized rate of 5.5%, which is a 30-year high. With the bank rate now at 0.75%, the UK is suffering a real negative interest rate of 4.75%.Traders can consider taking a more bearish bias on the British Pound. This could be expressed by looking to day trade GBP/USD or GBP/JPY in a short direction over the rest of today or tomorrow – however, the current sharp move may only be a short-term spike which might already have run its course.
Longer-term traders might instead seek to slowly build a position by adding more if the GBP/USD continues to fall, or alternatively to wait for a breakdown beyond the nearest key support level at $1.3078 or a test from below of $1.3125.price movement we are seeing in the British Pound right now is far from exceptional.
