Sterling's wild ride tempers after election, c.bank volatility passes
Despite recent market turbulence, sterling has returned to the relative safety of its 10-day moving average at 1.2957 as traders await further data that may shed light on UK-U.S. economic and inflation outlooks, as well as the path of interest rates and GBP/USD heading into 2025.
According to LSEG’s IRPR, the BoE is expected to follow a slightly higher rate path than the Fed or than was recently discounted. Rate cuts are currently priced on a quarterly basis in the first half of 2025, before stabilizing around -60 basis points for the remainder of the year, reaching a terminal level of 4.1% by the BoE’s December 10, 2025 MPC meeting.
SOFR futures 0#SRA: are pricing a slightly more dovish approach from the Fed at 91 basis points of cuts by the end of 2025, which would bring the fed funds rate to 3.85%.
The diverging UK-U.S. rate expectations are likely to support GBP/USD heading to year-end, though markets may judge the Fed less likely to reduce monetary restriction if President-elect Donald Trump's agenda proves as inflationary as markets appear to suspect.
Any clear signs that the Fed is likely to embark on a less-dovish policy path would hurt the perception of sterling's rate-protected status, creating a more forceful undertow for the pound.
On the downside, recent cable lows in the low 1.28s are the first point of vulnerability on the way to early August lows by 1.2666.
