GBP/USD: Pound sank amid expectations on February consumer price indexes

The U.S. is expected to publish its monthly price index on Wednesday, at 13:30 UTC. Fed Chair Jerome Powell has previously cautiously announced that inflation is expected to rise. And this is indeed an expected event due to the rise in energy prices.

At the same time, the British bond market got a little nervous and rolled out applications for the placement of 10-year Treasury inflation-indexed bonds from investors for £2.832 billion. The application-to-coverage ratio was 3.54, an all-time high since 1998. Let me remind you that this is the penultimate auction this year for the sale of long-term indexed bonds in Britain. While the US is just getting ready to sell its own.

Now the GBP/USD pair is fluctuating in the range of 1.385-1.390, but after the publication of the price index, if the expected indicators are exceeded, the pair should grow well.

Given the behavior of investors in the bond market, good news on vaccinations from England, and the expected approval of Biden's anti-crisis package, which will pump the US economy with an empty dollar, such a development can be expected. From a strategic point of view, longs are the best option.
