Fundamentals & Sentiment
GBP:
Yes, today's UK CPI release printed slightly above consensus. Does it change the inflation downtrend? Doesn't seem so. The readings couldn't even beat the previous ones. Moreover, the GBP swayed upward for instance until the market realized that disinflation persists - many GBP pairs seem eagerly absorbing any GBP demand. Overall, looks like a news failure, a decent trigger to go short.
AUD:
First, the bird's eye view: the Australian economy is doing better than the UK, considering GDP QoQ, Services PMI, and Average Cash Earnings. Market internals of a few GBP pairs show divergencies against the pound, while Risk Reversals hint at bearish bias, particularly in GBPAUD. Finally, CFTC reports show AUD is quite stretched to the downside.
