Today's focus: GBP to USD

Dissolution of the UK Parliament: After the British Prime Minister unexpectedly announced an early general election in July, the UK Parliament declared its dissolution, officially entering the election process. The anticipation of a potential rate cut following the UK general election has led to a short-term selling sentiment for the pound.

Economic Outlook: Despite high interest rates in the UK, the Bank of England's relaxed policy has reinforced the view that the pound will continue to offer attractive carry trade opportunities. With inflation cooling slower than expected, traders have postponed the expected first rate cut to November.

Technical Analysis Highlights:

Stochastic Oscillator: The indicator has once again issued a bearish signal in the overbought region, diverging from the exchange rate trend. This suggests a strong downward inclination for the exchange rate.

Moving Average: According to the 4-hour chart analysis, GBP/USD is currently near the black 65-period moving average, indicating a potential short-term adjustment. If the rebound fails to break the neckline around 1.27621, the exchange rate may continue to trend towards the alternative trend line near 1.26551.
