Sign InNewly released data shows the UK headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) dropped to 3%, intensifying selling pressure on the British Pound. The Retail Price Index (RPI) also fell to 3.8% from 4.2%, confirming the disinflationary trend closely monitored by the Bank of England (BoE). These fundamental figures provide clear justification for the technical breakdown of the symmetrical triangle pattern in GBP/USD near 1.3580. While GBP/JPY remains stable above 208.00 due to Yen weakness, the broader outlook for Sterling has turned increasingly bearish following the inflation miss. Concurrently, the Dollar Index (DXY) tested resistance at 97.60 following the FOMC minutes, further weighing on major pairs like EUR/USD. Market participants are now evaluating how these cooling inflation figures will influence the BoE's future monetary policy path amid heightened market volatility.
