⚡️GBP/USD continues the losing streak that began on September 20, trading below 1.2150 during the Asian session on Wednesday. Upbeat economic data from the United States (US) reinforces the prevailing pressure on the pair.
⚡️US Consumer Confidence released on Tuesday for September declined to 103.0 from the previous reading of 108.7 in August. While Building Permits rose to 1.541M in August from 1.443M prior.
⚡️Moreover, the House Price Index (MoM) for July climbed to 0.8% compared to the market expectations of 0.5% from the previous rate of 0.4%.
⚡️Additionally, the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) hawkish stance on the interest rate trajectory keeps pushing the US Treasury yields, which is boosting the US Dollar (USD). The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note retreats from the highest level since October 2007, and hovers near 4.51%
