英镑升至1.329美元,此前强于预期的GDP数据表明英国经济具有弹性,大幅降息的压力有所减轻。本季度增长率高于预期,为0.7%,同比增长1.3%,促使交易员降低了对英格兰银行今年可能降息幅度的预期。尽管降息仍在预期之中,但稳健的GDP数据表明,经济还不足以证明进一步宽松的合理性。除了国内数据,英镑还受到美元走软的提振,因为人们猜测美国可能会在贸易谈判中推动货币走弱。更广泛的美元疲软提振了包括英镑在内的大多数主要货币。然而,并非所有英国指标都乐观——失业率上升,工资增长放缓,表明势头不平衡。尽管如此,就目前而言,GDP的积极意外为英镑提供了支持,并减少了对经济停滞的直接担忧。
The British pound rose to $1.329, after stronger-than-expected GDP data signaled resilience in the UK economy and reduced pressure for aggressive rate cuts. Growth came in above forecasts at 0.7% for the quarter and 1.3% year-on-year, prompting traders to scale back expectations for how much the Bank of England might lower interest rates this year. While a rate cut is still expected, the solid GDP print suggests the economy is not weak enough to justify deeper easing just yet. Beyond domestic data, the pound also got a boost from a softer US dollar, as speculation builds that the US may push for a weaker currency in trade negotiations. That broader dollar weakness lifted most major currencies, including sterling. However, not all UK indicators were upbeat—unemployment ticked higher and wage growth slowed, pointing to uneven momentum. Still, for now, the positive surprise in GDP has given sterling support and reduced immediate concerns about economic stagnation.
