GBP/USD weekly outlook: October 21 - 25

The pound ended the week sharply higher against the weaker dollar on Friday amid expectations that the Federal Reserve will delay tapering stimulus measures in the aftermath of the U.S. government shutdown.

GBP/USD ended Friday’s session at 1.6165, almost unchanged for the day after rising to session highs of 1.6224. The pair ended the week with gains of 1.22%.

Cable is likely to find support at 1.6020 and resistance at 1.6260, the high of October 1 and a nine-month high.

On Wednesday the U.S. Congress passed a bill to reopen the government and raise the debt ceiling, with just hours to spare ahead of a deadline to avert an unprecedented sovereign debt default.

The deal will fund the government until January 15 and raise the government borrowing limit until February 7. Both sides also agreed to talks over broad budget issues in an attempt to reach a longer-term deal by December 13.

As fears over a default receded investors turned their attention to the economic impact of the 16-day government shutdown. The dollar slid amid fears that the Fed would delay plans for rolling back its asset purchase program until at least the beginning of next year.

The possibility of another debt crisis also remained, as the temporary solution does not resolve the underlying budgetary issues dividing Republicans and Democrats.

Sterling was boosted after data released on Thursday showed that retail sales in the U.K. rose at a faster than expected rate in September, adding to optimism over the outlook for third quarter growth.

USD/JPY weekly outlook: Oct 28 - Nov 1

The yen finished the week higher against the dollar for the second consecutive week on Friday, as soft U.S. economic data added to the view that the Federal Reserve will maintain its stimulus program into next year.

USD/JPY ended Friday’s session at 97.37, 0.12% higher for the day, after falling to 96.95 the lowest since October 9 earlier. The pair ended the week down 0.82%.

Data on Friday showed that U.S. core durable goods orders unexpectedly fell 0.1% in September, the third consecutively decline. A separate report showed that the University of Michigan U.S. consumer sentiment index was revised lower in October.

The data cemented expectations that the U.S. central bank will maintain the current pace of its asset purchase program into early next year.

Data released earlier in the week showing that U.S. jobs growth had slowed in September, even before the start of the 16-day government shutdown, prompted investors to re-evaluate expectations over the timing of a possible reduction to the Fed’s stimulus program.

The Department of Labor said the U.S. economy added 148,000 jobs last month, well below expectations for an increase of 180,000.
