- Market went risk-on after FOMC meeting
- FOMC held monetary policy unchanged
- Strong upside on GBP/USD
Chart 1: GBP/USD D1 chart
The U.S. FOMC delivered an upbeat tone earlier today during their monetary policy meeting, acknowledging the robust economic recovery in the U.S. as it progresses towards the central bank’s goals. (Refer to this article for a detailed coverage on what went down during the monetary policy meeting.) As a result, the market went risk-on, leading to an increase in demand of risky currencies like the British pound and a decline in demand of safe haven currencies like the U.S. dollar. This provided a boost to GBP/USD, causing it to take on the 1.39 handle.
At the moment, our technical indicators are indicating signs of upward momentum in GBP/USD. This presents good buying opportunities above the 1.39 handle.
