Fundamentals
Markets widely expect the Bank of England (BoE) to keep its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 3.75% at this meeting. This expectation has been fully priced in over the past weeks and has gradually become consensus.
Although ongoing Middle East tensions introduce uncertainty to the global economic outlook, the baseline scenario still favors a gradual policy easing path. Markets widely expect the BoE to begin cutting rates in April, with a further reduction in November. From an inflation perspective, rising energy prices may indeed push inflation higher in the coming period. However, domestic demand in the UK remains relatively weak. A rise in the unemployment rate, combined with the squeeze on household spending from higher energy costs, has led to a cautious consumption environment.
Against this backdrop, even amid inflationary pressures, the BoE remains unlikely to respond with rate hikes in the near term. Policymakers will most likely keep rates at current levels and monitor developments in economic and employment data.
Technical Analysis
From a technical perspective, GBPUSD maintains a neutral, range-bound intraday structure. Price currently holds structural support above 1.3230.
A convincing break above the 1.3300 resistance level would likely end the short-term bearish structure, opening the way for a move toward the 1.3500 pivot target.
On the upside, a break above the 1.3300 near-term resistance would first shift the intraday bias to neutral-to-bullish.
However, a drop below the 1.3217 support level would signal that downside risks persist, with sterling potentially re-entering a corrective phase.
Overall, market sentiment remains cautious ahead of key rate decisions, and GBPUSD is likely to stay range-bound in the short term.
