GBP/USD - Cable Pulls Back After FOMC Minutes; 1.31 is the key (based on the article)

GBP/USD weekly chart by Metatrader 5

  • "The British Pound is pulling back after testing above the 1.3100 level earlier this morning. This capped a strong topside run that showed up after the print of a fresh low less than a week ago. The month of January brought a stretch of strength into GBPUSD that likely caught many by surprise, especially considering the way that the year started for the pair: GBPUSD put in a rather large drop on January 3rd, slipping below 1.2500 temporarily as bears made a push. But the rest of January was marked by recovery, as GBPUSD climbed back above the 1.3000 psychological level to test above 1.3200."
  • "As looked at last week, prices began soften from that bullish theme in the final week of January. And that pullback ran for more than a couple of weeks as GBPUSD tested below the 50% marker of the January bullish run. But since then, buyers have made a pronounced entrance back into the equation, particularly over the past two days of price action, helping to firm prices back above the 1.3000-handle."

GBP/AUD - Brexit Referendum Levels for the Long-Term Bullish Reversal; 1.8728 is the key (based on the article)

GBPAUD monthly chart by Metatrader 5

  • "The Aussie pair that arguably made the most amount of progress last week, rising almost 2%, was GBP/AUD. It added to an impressive bullish push that began two weeks ago, as anticipated. Yet, it was unable to push beyond critical resistance at 1.8732. In addition to this past week, this area was tested back in October and then in early January. It is preventing GBP/AUD from achieving its highest daily close since June 2016, the month of the Brexit Referendum.."
  • "Arguably, sustaining this momentum should require major fundamental support. But there are numerous uncertainties that remain for the British Pound ahead as pushing back the divorce would continue keeping the markets in suspense. Meanwhile, the sentiment-linked Australian Dollar is being primarily driven by volatile risk trends.."

The Bank of England: A Forex Trader’s Guide (based on the article) 

WHAT IS THE BANK OF ENGLAND (BOE)?

Established in 1694, the Bank of England is the banker to, and owned by, the British government but is independent when setting monetary policy. Its roles include the setting of monetary policy - which includes targeting interest rates and using other tools to stimulate or contract the economy - producing the UK’s bank notes, supervising some bank payment systems, and ensuring the stability and safety of the financial system.

For traders, the BOE’s setting of monetary policy is a key factor to consider as it can have a big impact on the financial markets. Other factors, like the independence of the central bank are also important but are more prevalent issues in emerging market economies.

KEY ECONOMIC MANDATES OF THE BANK OF ENGLAND

According to the Bank of England, their two core purposes or mandates are:
1) Monetary stability - which is price stability or inflation
2) Financial stability - which is the stability and health of the economy 

February 2014 Bank of England Inflation Report:

February 2014 Bank of England Inflation Report



HOW BOE INTEREST RATES AFFECT THE POUND

Interest rate impact on the Pound

This is the general principle for how interest rates affect the Pound and stock market, although they sometimes react differently:

  • Higher interest rate expectations increase the strength of the Pound (GBP) and negatively affect equity values.
  • Lower interest rate expectations decrease the strength of the Pound (GBP) and positively affect equity values.

Interest rate impact on the economy

The Bank of England lowers interest rates when it is trying to stimulate the economy (GDP) and increases interest rates when it is trying to contain inflation caused by an economy operating above potential (overheating).

Lower interest rates stimulate an economy in a few ways:

  • Businesses can borrow money and invest in projects that will receive more than the risk borrowing rate.
  • When interest rates are lower the stock market is discounted at a lower rate, leading to an appreciation in stock market values which causes a wealth effect.
  • People invest their money into the economy (stocks and other assets) because they can earn more in these assets than at currently low interest rates.
