- In FX, the latest pullback in EURUSD is considered corrective and the trend structure remains bullish. Moving average studies are in a bull-mode position signalling a dominant uptrend, and the latest move down is allowing an overbought condition to unwind. A resumption of gains would open 1.1608 next, the Nov 9 2021 high. Key support is unchanged at the 20-day EMA, at 1.1217. A break of this average would signal scope for a deeper retracement.

BOE: Will "gradual" remain in the May guidance? (2/2)
Apr-28 10:43
- The second buzzword is “careful” – and this is a word that the MPC has communicated means that there is elevated uncertainty. Uncertainty has risen, rather than fallen, since the last MPC meeting. And hence it would be very surprising to us if this language was to change.
- That leaves “gradual” as the last significant part of the guidance. The market has taken “gradual” to mean quarterly and indeed external MPC member Professor Alan Taylor stated in a Treasury Select Committee that his view of gradual was that it meant quarterly cuts. If the MPC wants to potentially open the door to a change in the guidance it could remove the word “gradual” but temper it by keeping “restrictive” and “careful”. This effectively would signal to the market that there was a possibility that the BOE may accelerate rate cuts as far as neutral, which would at least open up the potential for back-to-back cuts between May and August.
- We do hear from both Governor Bailey and Deputy Governor Lombardelli again this week, but we would be very surprised if either said anything pertinent to the near-term monetary policy outlook.
