GBP/JPY - Eases from highs after weaker UK inflation data
UK inflation unchanged in January Markets expect BoE rate cut in Q2 GBPJPY pares gains after hitting 8.5 year high UK inflation data this morning will have been a welcome surprise for the Bank of England but there's still a long way to go. Unfavorable base effects were expected to lift headline and core CPI last month but in both cases, they stayed at the same level. A small win but a win nonetheless for the BoE. It was already expected to fall back to target in the second quarter before rebo

Gold - Falls below $2,000 after resilient display this year
US inflation report hits gold Fewer Fed rate cuts priced into markets A loss of major technical support US inflation data finally took its toll on gold which, after holding strong above $2,000 this year, finally crumbled under the pressure of higher rates. How much worse it gets for the yellow metal will ultimately depend on how bad the data gets but, under the circumstances, we're certainly back in a "good news is bad news" scenario ahead of the retail sales data.

While an improvement at the headline level, it's less so than markets were positioned for an

GBP/JPY - Testing highs ahead of key UK economic data
UK wage growth key to BoE sustainably hitting inflation target GBPJPY struggling near recent highs Divergence points to loss of momentum The coming days offer several important data points for the UK that could help determine when the Bank of England starts cutting interest rates and, by extension, where the currency is headed in the coming months. The jobs report on Tuesday is always widely followed but with the unemployment component less reliable than normal, it's the average earnings that

USD/CAD - Rebound running on fumes ahead of Canadian employment data
US jobless claims no longer trending lower Canadian unemployment expected to rise again USDCAD running low on momentum near key resistance The US dollar has performed well recently, buoyed by some strong US economic figures that have forced traders to pare back rate cut expectations.

GBP/USD - A bearish reversal at a key Fib level?
Fed policymakers sticking to the script US data continues to point to a strong economy Fib rebound may suggest we've seen a correction in GBPUSD It isn't the busiest week as far as UK and US economic data is concerned but there are still a few pieces worth keeping an eye on. As well as, of course, the scattering of central bank speak. So far, policymakers appear to remain consistent with the message from the last meeting despite Friday's surprisingly strong jobs report.
