British Pound Gains Amid Dollar Weakness, but Economic Headwinds Persist

February 13, 2025 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a go-to platform for big investing ideas releases market commentary from Ruben Ferreira - Head of Portuguese Operations at FlowCommunity.

The British Pound strengthened against the US Dollar, benefiting from the broader weakness of the dollar. Hopes of peace talks in Europe could weigh on the USD and favor other currencies.

However, UK domestic economic challenges could limit further gains. Domestically, the latest GDP data showed marginal growth of 0.1% in Q4 after a period of stagnation. Weak economic growth could weigh on the GBP and favor a softer monetary policy.

In the US, core and headline inflation unexpectedly rose, reinforcing recent hawkish comments from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell. As a result, market participants have pushed back expectations of a rate cut to October, bolstering the dollar's outlook.

Looking ahead, all eyes now turn to the Producer Price Index and Jobless Claims data. Stronger-than-expected data could reinforce the dollar's gains and increase downside risks for the British pound.
