Does anyone know the fundamental reason for the increase in value of the GBP. Trade balance was worse than expected and Mervyn King said in the inflation report that he expects CPI to fall = no rate hike. So why did the GBP rise?

cause my brother..fundamentals come after not b4 technicals and your not a fundamentalist yur a techical trader..dont ignore the bulish trend and bullish signals on a bogus news event which cant cancel all the signs..

this is zero sum game..the bums need to get of the bus

Could it be because the U.S. trade balance is expected to be even worse?

aint sure about that..i just doesnt get any more solid than this..


diverence gave me strength , the mofo almost bus meh up
Now that you mention it, I realize this up move can be risky, news printed out worse and other pairs are still ranging means this bloody 80-90 pips up move is pretty much a bull trap. I have closed all my LONG not waiting for this boy to play a pullback or reversal then watching how far he can goes up. If still stuck around 6488 then scalping bear will be next in line till NY and USD news.

if I interpret His message : he expect CPI to fall = His Expectation . if Not He is forced to increase interest rate = which mean Interest rate hike this year

now im sure guys.
market moves before news.
news are done to confuse people.
we must feel market moves.

in my opinion , momentum sometimes starts before the news , sometimes ... then , in some cases momentum continuous to increase with the news , in other cases , just simply goes concolide , because the momentum has began and ended already.. and in some other cases , just simply reacts some. start watching the charts before the news , the movement behaviours , i think it is a good way to decide..

good trades for all.
the best indicator is trader's knowledge , experience and dicipline.

Move up looks technically more solid than a bull trap ? It is though, on the surface anyway, a strangely bullish reaction to the Uk Boe inflation report given that it appears broadly neutral...nothing standing out in press conference either (so far) which is still ongoing.

no man it is because technicals all the signs were there:-

monthly offically broke out of the downtrend movements
dailly bullish pin 2 days back
weekly channel bottom was reached and bounced as expected
4hr falling wedge..breakout and retest, supported by bullish diverence

what more u want..there is no coulda, shoulda wanna..only what is..

It would seem, at least from the comment I have read so far, that merv's comments re increasing commodity/fuel prices could push inflation to over 5% this year, is the prime reason for bullish market reaction ?
