GBP/USD forecast: US dollar rebounds ahead of US CPI, UK GDP

GBP/USD forecast: Cable rebounds as US dollar eases amid firmer risk appetite

A firmer risk tone owing to positive company earnings, slight easing of bond yields and technical selling all weighed on the US dollar. However, the trend remains bullish for the greenback, especially as we are now getting quite close to the US presidential election, with Trump starting to lead in the polls. This should keep the ongoing GBP/USD forecast mildly bearish, despite today’s recovery in the cable.

GBP/USD forecast: UK CPI and wages among key data highlights

As we look forward to the week ahead, the lack of any major US data could see the greenback give back some of its recent gains, although that is not to say that the GBP/USD forecast will necessarily turn bullish, as the upside potential could be limited. We have some important data from the UK, though.
