GBPCAD Forecast: Impact of UK Inflation Data
The GBP/CAD currency pair, often referred to as “The Beast” due to its volatility, involves the British Pound (GBP) and the Canadian Dollar (CAD). This pair’s news analysis is influenced by both the UK’s macroeconomic factors and the price of oil, which impacts the Canadian economy heavily. With today’s upcoming news on the UK’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI), both of which are key inflation indicators, traders are likely to monitor how these reports could affect the Bank of England’s stance on monetary policy. If the actual figures come in higher than expected, the GBP could see a boost due to potential interest rate hikes aimed at controlling inflation. On the CAD side, data from Canada’s housing sector and manufacturing sales will also be significant, as strong numbers here could bolster the Canadian dollar.
Chart Notes:
• Chart time-zone is UTC (+03:00)
• Candles’ time-frame is 4h.
As for the pair’s technical analysis, examining the GBP/CAD H4 chart and the MACD indicator highlights its recent price movements. The last five candles have moved from the lower part of an upward channel towards the middle, showing three consecutive green candles followed by two red ones. This shift suggests a weakening of the GBPCAD bullish trend. The MACD indicator is also showing signs of bearish momentum, as the lines converge, and the histogram reflects decreasing upward momentum. The overall pattern suggests that while the price has pulled back slightly, it remains within the channel and could either continue downwards or find support for a bullish rebound depending on upcoming economic data.
