GBP/USD: In the end of last week, the pair substantially declined amid strengthening in the US dollar, which was supported by the speech from Fed Chair Janet Yellen. In her speech, she highlighted noticeable improvements in the US economy and on the labour market, which makes the next interest rate increase viable within coming months. Despite a slow pace in wage growth, the labour market is approaching its full employment and, thus, permits further monetary policy tightening.
At present, Fed Funds futures indicate more than a 30% probability of the rate increase at June’s meeting of the regulator.
