To combat inflation, the BoE makes its 14th move to raise interest rates by 25 bps, marking a new high of 5.25% since 2008.
(UK Interest rates in the past 25 years)
(BoE briefing in Aug.)
BoE’s consecutive 25bps rate hikes made the market no longer optimistic on the future, lowering the estimate from 5.74% to around 5.68%. Meanwhile the pound came under pressure. BoE has repeatedly emphasized its view that the British economy would not head for a recession and revised the GDP growth rate for 2023 from 0.25% to 0.5% in May.
High rates mean heavy borrowing costs, putting pressure on mortgage borrowers. Tenants also suffer as homeowners pass on their additional burden. The average two-year mortgage rate in the UK is now close to 7%. The future economic status will need to be verified by further data.
4-hour graph of GBP/USD
Technically, GBP/USD gains upward space after interest rate hikes. In the 4-hour period, the price action shows a clear Wolfe wave. Point 3 is below point 1, point 4 retreats to the price range between point 2 and point 3, and point 5 rebounds upward after falling to the line connecting point 1 and point 3 yesterday. In the short term, GBP/USD has a certain chance of rebounding. The first target is at point 4, and the second target is the line connecting point 1 and point 4.
