UK rate decision: Thursday, 11:00. This is one of the Bank of England’s “Super Thursday” events as in addition to the rate decision and the MPC Meeting Minutes, the BOE also publishes its all-important Quarterly Inflation Report. Until a few weeks ago, the BOE was expected to raise rates in this May decision. The BOE laid down thick hints it was coming. Yet recent data have been very disappointing: GDP grew by only 0.1% q/q in Q1, PMI figures point to an upcoming slowdown and Governor Mark Carney hinted that rates are not coming so soon. This accumulation of events resulted in expectations that the BOE leaves rates unchanged at 0.50% at this occasion. The focus will be on the forecasts for inflation (that also slowed down to 2.5%) and the messages about raising rates in the remainder of the year. If Carney and co. convey a message that the situation has worsened and that no hike is expected this year, the pound could extend its plunge. If they see the recent slowdown as temporary, like Draghi did when referring to the euro-zone, Sterling could recover.

US inflation: Thursday, 12:30. Core inflation finally jumped above 2% in March. It advanced to 2.1% y/y after stubbornly sticking to 1.8% for a long time. This time, a renewed drop to 1.9% is expected. A deterioration to 1.8% could lower expectations for rate hikes and could send the dollar down. Holding onto 2% would be good news for the greenback. On a monthly basis, Core CPI by 0.2% as in March. Headline CPI carries expectations for an increase of 0.3% after dropping in the previous month.

Update: We remain the same. As could be seen on the daily chart that the pair managed to break through a strong support level (the uptrend line which is a resistance level now) so we believe that as long as the pair is traded below it, it is highly recommended to go short targeting the level of 1.1700 during the week. This is conditioned by the continuation of trading below the broken uptrend line.

Update: First target was hit, waiting for its second target 1330. As could be seen on the chart above that the pair is traded above a strong support level (1300) so we believe that as long as the pair is traded above it, it is highly recommended to go long targeting the level of 1320 followed by 1330 during the week.
