GBP outlook as GBP/USD gets rejected from pre-FOMC highs

The Pound’s rally above 1.37 quickly reversed as GBP/USD dropped 1.7% following Powell’s balanced FOMC tone and a re-anchored US Dollar. With UK inflation still high and BoE cuts pushed further out, traders now question if this pullback signals a broader correction across European currencies.

The U.S. Federal Reserve has cut interest rates by 25 basis points to 4.00–4.25%, marking its first adjustment in nine months. The move, driven by risk management rather than crisis response, highlights concerns about a cooling labor market.

Caution Over Speed: How the Fed Framed Its First Cut

The Fed cut rates by 25 bps to 4.00–4.25% after a nine-month pause but kept a cautious tone. Powell called it “risk management,” signaling this isn’t the start of a fast easing cycle. The statement flagged growing employment-side risks, and the new dot plot points to a 3.6% median for 2025—implying two more cuts this year, though views are widely dispersed.

USD/JPY Technical: USD strength capped (again) below 148.95 range resistance, BoJ keeps rate hike hopes alive

The USD/JPY rebounded after holding 145.95 support but remains capped by 148.75/148.95 resistance. A dovish BoJ shift, with two officials voting for a rate hike, alongside narrowing US-Japan yield spreads, underpins yen strength. Unless USD/JPY breaks above 148.95, risks lean toward a retest of 146.30 and 145.95, with a daily close below the latter likely triggering a medium-term bearish breakout favoring JPY.
