Pound Sterling (GBP) may decline toward 1.3400; a clear break below this level appears unlikely. In the longer run, GBP is likely to trade in a range between 1.3360 and 1.3525, UOB Group's FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Peter Chia note.

Clear break below 1.3400 appears unlikely

24-HOUR VIEW: "GBP fell to a low of 1.3402 last Thursday. On Friday, we were of the view that GBP 'may retest the 1.3400 level.' Our view did not materialise, as GBP traded in a range of 1.3430/1.3488. GBP gapped lower at the open today, and it may continue to decline toward 1.3400. Based on the current momentum, a clear break below this level appears unlikely. On the upside, any recovery is likely to hold below 1.3475, with minor resistance at 1.3455."

1-3 WEEKS VIEW: "In our most recent narrative was from last Tuesday (30 Sep, spot at 1.3435), we held the view that GBP 'is likely to trade in a range between 1.3360 and 1.3525.' While there has been a slight increase in downward momentum, it is not sufficient to indicate a sustained decline. For the time being, we will continue to expect GBP to trade in a range between 1.3360 and 1.3525."

FOMC Minutes: Fed Shifts to Neutral Wait-and-See Stance, a Few Officials See Need to Raise Rates, Upside Inflation Risks Become Core Conflict

The Federal Reserve released the minutes of its June 16-17 FOMC monetary policy meeting on July 8. The document shows that the Fed's policy has completely shifted to a neutral, wait-and-see stance, with upside risks to inflation becoming the core contradiction. This FOMC meeting sent a clear signal that the Fed has completely moved away from its previous unilateral rate-cut bias and entered a period of two-way, flexible policy observation. Higher-than-expected inflation stickiness and its broadening scope are the core reasons for this policy shift, while the resilience of employment and growth provides room for flexible policy adjustments. Officials confirmed a further rise in inflation, noting that pressures are no longer confined to exogenous factors such as energy and tariffs. Instead, price increases have spread across a wide range of categories including transportation, airfares, and oil, with service inflation excluding housing showing almost no improvement. In the short term, as shipping through the Strait of Hormuz recovers and the marginal effects of tariffs fade, inflation is expected to decline gradually.
