Fundamentals

Underlying pressures in the UK economy have also provided key guidance for the pound’s recent performance. Data from the Bank of England’s quarterly inflation expectations survey released last Friday showed that, due to the lingering impact of earlier sharp rises in energy prices, the public’s long-term inflation expectations hit a record high in May. Specifically, one-year inflation expectations surged from 3.2% to 4%, while five-year inflation expectations rose to 3.9%. Both indicators deviated significantly from the Bank of England’s 2% inflation target and reached their highest levels since records began in 2009.

Currently, investment banks hold significantly divergent views, further amplifying market uncertainty: Goldman Sachs has raised its medium- to long-term inflation forecasts for the U.S., scrapped its expectation of rate cuts in 2026, and pushed back the timing of rate cuts to 2027; JPMorgan forecasts that the new Fed leadership will maintain a steady and neutral policy stance, leaving room for only two rate cuts by year-end; Citi, however, maintains a dovish stance, forecasting that the Fed will begin a rate-cutting cycle in the third quarter. The divergence in bullish and bearish views among major institutions is expected to intensify volatility in the U.S. Dollar Index.
