GBP/USD consolidates gains near 1.2550, eyes on UK no-confidence vote
The market’s cautiouS sentiment could be witnessed via the S&P 500 Futures and the US 10-year Treasury yields as both of them struggle around 4,175 and 2.91% even if the Wall Street benchmarks rose the most in a week on Thursday.
Elsewhere, the Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ) highlights the difference between the currency BOE rate and the one per Taylor rule to suggest more work for the “Old Lady”. Further, a Tory critic, who is a UK Member of Parliament (MP), suggested rejoining the bloc and chatters over a no-confidence vote for UK Prime Minister (PM) Boris Johnson also weighed on the GBP/USD prices.
Looking forward, expectations of likely softer US data may keep GBP/USD buyers hopeful. That said, the headline US NFP is expected to ease to 325K versus 428K prior whereas the ISM Services PMI may retreat from 57.1 to 56.4. Other than the data, US President Joe Biden’s speech will also be important. However, a Platinum Jubilee Bank Holiday can restrict the pair’s moves on Friday.
