Data indicated that British consumer price index (CPI) climbed less-than-expected by 3.0% on an annual basis in October, signalling that the impact of the Pound’s steep depreciation on inflation may have begun to wane. However, the index retained its 5-year high level. In the previous month, the CPI had registered a rise of 3.0%, while markets were anticipating for an increase of 3.1%.
In the Asian session, at GMT0400, the pair is trading at 1.3142, with the GBP trading 0.15% lower against the USD from yesterday’s close.
