The British currency increased following the long-awaited meeting of the Bank of England. The pound received a strong impulse to rise, which it successfully used.
After the meeting of representatives of the Central Bank of England, the pound's price increased. Its growth continued after statements that two representatives of the regulator voted for the early curtailment of government bond purchase programs. It should be noted that before the announcement of the Bank of England's decisions, the pound was trading at 1.3686. After that, it gained 0.7%, reaching the level of 1.3715. On Friday morning, the GBP/USD pair was trading around the level of 1.3720. Analysts believe that the long-term downward trend of the pair began to turn up, breaking through the resistance level of 1.3665 and approaching the support level of 1.3730.
As expected, the Bank of England kept the interest rate at the same level of 0.1%. According to the regulator, it intends to adhere to the current target of buying assets in the amount of 895 billion pounds ($1.22 trillion). The economists said that the last meeting of the Bank of England was quite "hawkish". Such tactics help postpone the deadline for raising rates until the end of the first quarter of 2022.
According to experts, rate expectations during the last few months have not been able to support the pound. The attempt to rally the GBP also failed. Some disagreements in the leadership related to forecasts of high inflation and slow economic growth also worsen the situation. Experts pay attention to the sensitivity of the dynamics of the pound to the data on the labor market, which has not been encouraging lately.
To date, the Bank of England has taken a wait-and-see attitude, preferring to wait for additional information before starting to tighten monetary policy. Many analysts believe that the discussion of issues related to the end of incentives increases the chances of an early curtailment of quantitative easing (QE) programs.
The current situation gives the pound an additional growth impulse. It is steadily gaining momentum, although experts admit the possibility of a pullback. At the moment, the pound, having risen on the wave of the "hawkish" comments of the regulator, is trying to consolidate in the upward trend. Experts summarize that in such a situation, the chances of a further rate increase in 2022 gets high.
