Sterling weakens below 1.34 as fiscal tightening looms in Britain
A scarce economic docket triggered by the government shutdown in the US keeps traders leaning on social media posts or comments by US President Donald Trump. In addition, the upcoming release of the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) figures in the US on Friday keeps price action subdued.
Meanwhile, in the UK, Public Sector Net Borrowing in September reached 20.24 billion pounds, lower than the median forecast of 20.5 billion pounds deficit expected by analysts.
The UK’s Chancellor Rachel Reeves hinted that she would raise taxes and cut spending to remain on course to meet her fiscal targets.
She also aims to avoid upsetting investors who have already pushed up British borrowing costs sharply. Last week, she made comments that she would like to have a bigger fiscal buffer to maneuver amidst global financial markets, adding that creating one in the November 26 budget would require some trade-offs.
In the meantime, traders are eyeing the release of UK inflation data on Wednesday. Estimates suggest that CPI will rise from 3.8% to 4% in September, but a miss on the mark could open the door for the Bank of England to resume its easing cycle.
