The prices for imports have increased to 24.8% from the previous year. The cost of imports may influence inflation as businesses pass costs to consumers. These conditions suggest that BoJ may increase interest rates in December.
Japan will release the GDP data on 16 November and inflation data for October on 20 November. The market expects annualized growth of 0.3% which is down from 1.4% in Q2. The expectations for core inflation are 2.3% which is up from 2.1% in September. These expectations also support the rate hike in December. If the GDP data suggest slowdown and inflation is softer, it would give the BOJ room to wait. If inflation is hotter than expected, it will increase the expectation of rate hikes in 2027.
Inflation in the US is also high which is keeping pressure on the Fed to raise interest rates. The chart below shows that consumer prices increased by 0.35% in October while core prices increased by 0.3%.
According to the latest IndexBox report on the global Caffeine Free Cold Brew Coffee market, the market enters 2026 with broader demand fundamentals, more disciplined procurement behavior, and a more regionally diversified supply architecture.
The global caffeine free cold brew coffee market represents a premium, benefit-led niche within ready-to-drink (RTD) coffee and functional beverages, defined by the intersection of cold brew’s smooth, low-acidity sensory appeal and the deliberate avoidance of caffeine’s physiological effects. Unlike traditional coffee demand, which is anchored in energy and ritual, this category is propelled by health and wellness trends, particularly ingredient consciousness, sleep hygiene, and stimulant management.
The market exhibits a two-tier structure: a premium, brand-driven segment emphasizing organic, clean-label claims and artisanal positioning, and a value-oriented, private-label segment focused on accessibility. Route-to-market is bifurcated, with premium brands relying on natural/specialty channels and DTC, while mainstream penetration depends on chilled and ambient shelf space in mass grocery, convenience, and club. Supply chain complexity is above average, requiring dedicated decaffeination and cold-brewing infrastructure. Geographic development is uneven, concentrated in advanced, wellness-oriented economies with established cold brew cultures.
Long-term expansion hinges on moving beyond a caffeine-free avoidance claim to a proactive functional relaxation or evening occasion platform, alongside format innovation in concentrates and home systems. The forecast period 2026-2035 anticipates continued premiumization and channel diversification as consumer demand for functional, stimulant-free beverages accelerates.
The baseline scenario for the caffeine free cold brew coffee market through 2035 envisions steady expansion, underpinned by sustained consumer interest in health and wellness, particularly sleep hygiene and stimulant management. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2026 to 2035, reaching a market index of 185 (2025=100). This growth is supported by the category’s premium positioning, which insulates it somewhat from broad economic downturns, though price sensitivity remains a factor in value-tier segments. The two-tier structure will persist, with premium brands driving innovation and margin, while private label expands access and volume.
Route-to-market evolution will see increased penetration in mainstream retail as chilled distribution improves, alongside growth in e-commerce and DTC channels. Supply chain investments in dedicated decaffeination and cold-brewing capacity will lower barriers for new entrants and support scale. Geographically, North America and Europe will remain the largest markets, but Asia-Pacific is expected to witness the fastest growth as cold brew culture spreads and wellness trends gain traction. Key risks include intense competition from other functional beverages, regulatory changes affecting health claims, and volatility in coffee bean prices.
Overall, the outlook is positive, with the category poised to benefit from shifting consumer preferences toward stimulant-free, relaxation-oriented beverages.
Demand Drivers and Constraints
Primary Demand Drivers
Rising consumer focus on sleep hygiene and stimulant avoidance, driving demand for evening-appropriate coffee alternatives.
Health and wellness trends emphasizing ingredient consciousness and clean-label claims, supporting premium price points.
Expansion of cold brew culture and consumer familiarity with cold coffee formats, lowering adoption barriers.
Growth in functional beverage platforms, with caffeine free cold brew positioned as a relaxation and wellness drink.
Improved chilled distribution and e-commerce capabilities, enhancing product availability and trial.
Innovation in decaffeination methods (e.g., Swiss Water Process) and format diversification (concentrates, pods).
Potential Growth Constraints
High price premium relative to regular coffee and other beverages, limiting mass-market appeal in price-sensitive regions.
Supply chain complexity and higher production costs due to dedicated decaffeination and cold-brewing infrastructure.
Competition from other functional beverages (e.g., herbal teas, adaptogen drinks) for the same need states.
Low consumer awareness and underdeveloped chilled distribution in many emerging markets.
Potential regulatory scrutiny over health claims and labeling, which could impact marketing and positioning.
The RTD segment dominates the caffeine free cold brew coffee market, accounting for the largest share of volume and value. Demand is fueled by consumers seeking convenient, on-the-go options that align with health and wellness goals, particularly sleep hygiene and stimulant avoidance. The segment benefits from the broader RTD coffee boom, but differentiates through its caffeine-free positioning, appealing to evening and relaxation occasions. Key demand-side indicators include the expansion of chilled distribution in retail, the rise of e-commerce and DTC channels, and increasing shelf space in natural and specialty stores.
Through 2035, innovation in packaging (e.g., single-serve cans, larger multi-serve bottles) and clean-label claims will drive premiumization. However, competition from other functional RTD beverages and private-label offerings will pressure margins. The segment’s growth is also supported by the entry of major CPG players, which brings scale and marketing investment, further legitimizing the category. Current trend: Growing at a robust pace, driven by convenience and premiumization..
Major trends: Premiumization with organic and clean-label claims, Expansion of chilled distribution and e-commerce, Innovation in packaging formats (cans, multi-serve), Entry of major CPG companies through acquisitions or launches, and Growing demand for functional relaxation beverages.
Representative participants: Starbucks Corporation, Nestlé S.A, The Coca-Cola Company, PepsiCo, Inc, and Keurig Dr Pepper Inc.
Concentrates and Home Brewing (estimated share: 25%)
The concentrates and home brewing segment includes liquid concentrates, powders, and pods for home cold brew systems. Demand is driven by consumers who prefer to prepare caffeine free cold brew at home for cost savings, customization, and sustainability reasons. This segment appeals to hobbyists and health-conscious consumers who value control over ingredients and strength. Key demand-side indicators include the penetration of home cold brew systems, the growth of e-commerce for specialty concentrates, and the expansion of subscription models. Through 2035, innovation in pod formats compatible with popular home brewing machines and the introduction of shelf-stable concentrates will drive growth.
However, the segment faces competition from RTD options and traditional home brewing methods. The trend toward premiumization is also evident, with organic and single-origin concentrates gaining traction. Major companies are investing in this space through partnerships and product launches, recognizing the potential for recurring revenue and brand loyalty. Current trend: Steady growth, supported by home consumption and customization trends..

Foodservice and Hospitality (estimated share: 15%)
The foodservice and hospitality segment encompasses cafes, restaurants, hotels, and other venues that serve caffeine free cold brew coffee on-premise or for takeaway. Demand is driven by consumers seeking evening-friendly coffee options and the general trend of cafes expanding their beverage menus to cater to diverse dietary preferences. Key demand-side indicators include the number of specialty coffee shops, menu innovation, and the willingness of operators to stock niche products. Through 2035, growth will be supported by the rise of experiential coffee culture and the integration of functional beverages into foodservice.
However, the segment faces challenges such as limited shelf space, staff training needs, and the perception of caffeine free cold brew as a niche product. Operators are increasingly partnering with premium brands to offer differentiated options, and the segment is expected to benefit from the overall premiumization of coffee shop menus. The trend toward health and wellness also encourages foodservice operators to highlight caffeine-free and low-acidity attributes. Current trend: Moderate growth, as cafes and restaurants expand caffeine-free options..
Major trends: Menu diversification in specialty coffee shops, Partnerships with premium caffeine free cold brew brands, Growing demand for evening-friendly coffee options, Integration of functional beverages into foodservice, and Focus on low-acidity and clean-label claims.

The retail segment includes grocery stores, convenience stores, mass merchandisers, and club stores that sell packaged caffeine free cold brew coffee for at-home consumption. Demand is driven by increasing availability and consumer awareness, as well as the expansion of private-label offerings that make the category more accessible. Key demand-side indicators include the number of stock-keeping units (SKUs), shelf space allocation, and promotional activity. Through 2035, growth will be supported by the entry of mainstream CPG brands and the expansion of chilled distribution networks. However, the segment faces intense competition for shelf space and price pressure from private label.
Retailers are increasingly leveraging caffeine free cold brew as a premium offering to differentiate their assortments, and the category benefits from the overall growth of cold brew in retail.

Demand is driven by convenience, the ability to access niche products, and the growing popularity of subscription models for regular deliveries. Key demand-side indicators include online penetration of beverage sales, subscription growth rates, and digital marketing effectiveness. Through 2035, this segment is expected to grow rapidly, supported by improved logistics for chilled and ambient products, and the expansion of DTC brands that cultivate loyal followings.
However, challenges include high customer acquisition costs, complex cold-chain logistics, and competition from established retail channels. Brands are increasingly using online channels for product launches and consumer education, leveraging data to personalize offerings. The segment is also benefiting from the overall shift toward e-commerce in consumer goods, particularly among younger, digitally native consumers.

According to the latest IndexBox report on the global Coffee Packaging market, the market enters 2026 with broader demand fundamentals, more disciplined procurement behavior, and a more regionally diversified supply architecture.
The global coffee packaging market is a critical and dynamic segment within the broader food and beverage supply chain, directly influenced by evolving consumption patterns, stringent regulatory requirements, and shifting sustainability imperatives. As of the 2026 analysis period, the market is characterized by a complex interplay between the robust demand for roasted coffee, which reached 10.5 million tons, and the innovative packaging solutions required to preserve product quality, ensure safety, and communicate brand value across diverse retail and distribution channels.
The transition towards more sophisticated, environmentally responsible packaging formats is no longer a niche trend but a central strategic consideration for producers, converters, and brand owners alike, shaping investment and R&D priorities across the industry. This report provides a comprehensive, data-driven assessment of the market’s structure, from raw material supply and production capacities to end-use demand and international trade flows. It identifies the key macroeconomic, consumer, and regulatory forces that will dictate market evolution through the forecast horizon to 2035.
The analysis underscores that competitive advantage will increasingly hinge on a company’s ability to navigate the dual challenges of performance and sustainability, adapt to regional logistical nuances, and manage cost volatility within the supply chain. The insights contained herein are designed to equip senior executives and strategists with the foundational intelligence necessary for informed decision-making in a market where packaging is integral to product integrity and commercial success.
The baseline scenario for the world coffee packaging market through 2035 anticipates steady expansion, supported by the fundamental need to protect and preserve roasted coffee, which reached 10.5 million tons in the 2026 analysis period. Demand is projected to accelerate as coffee consumption grows in emerging markets and premiumization drives higher-value packaging formats. The market index is forecast to reach 142 by 2035 (2025=100), equivalent to a CAGR of 3.6% over the 2026-2035 period. Growth will be underpinned by the rising share of single-serve capsules and pods, which require specialized barrier packaging, as well as the expansion of specialty and gourmet coffee retail.
Sustainability pressures will reshape material choices, with recyclable mono-material pouches and paper-based formats gaining share, although cost and performance trade-offs will slow full substitution. Regionally, Asia-Pacific is expected to contribute the largest incremental demand, while Europe and North America remain key for premium and sustainable packaging innovation. Supply-side factors, including resin price volatility and aluminum availability, pose risks, but converters are investing in capacity and technology to meet barrier and sustainability requirements.
Overall, the outlook is positive, with packaging increasingly viewed as a strategic enabler of brand differentiation and product freshness.
Demand Drivers and Constraints
Primary Demand Drivers
Rising global coffee consumption and roasted coffee volumes, which reached 10.5 million tons, directly increase the need for primary packaging to preserve freshness and enable distribution.
Proliferation of single-serve coffee capsules and pods, which require specialized barrier packaging and drive demand for composite and plastic formats.
Premiumization and specialty coffee growth, as brand owners seek high-barrier, aesthetically appealing packaging to communicate quality and origin.
Expansion of e-commerce and food service channels, necessitating packaging that ensures product integrity during shipping and convenient preparation.
Sustainability mandates and consumer preference for recyclable, compostable, or paper-based packaging, prompting converters to innovate and brand owners to adopt eco-friendly formats.
Urbanization and busy lifestyles in emerging markets, boosting demand for convenient single-serve and ready-to-drink coffee packaging.
Potential Growth Constraints
Volatility in raw material prices, particularly resins and aluminum, which pressures margins and may delay packaging conversions.
Technical challenges and higher costs associated with developing recyclable or compostable packaging that matches the barrier performance of conventional multi-material structures.
Fragmented regulatory landscape for packaging waste and recycling across regions, creating compliance complexity and uncertainty for global brand owners.
Competition from alternative packaging formats and bulk distribution models that reduce packaging intensity per unit of coffee consumed.
Demand Structure by End-Use Industry
Whole Bean Coffee (estimated share: 28%)
Whole bean coffee packaging is experiencing robust demand as consumers increasingly prefer freshly roasted beans for home brewing. The segment is characterized by the widespread use of one-way degassing valve bags and stand-up pouches that allow carbon dioxide to escape while preventing oxygen ingress, thereby preserving aroma and flavor. Through 2035, the shift toward specialty and single-origin coffees will support higher-value packaging with premium finishes, resealable features, and smaller pack sizes for trial and gifting. Demand-side indicators include the number of specialty coffee shops, home brewing equipment sales, and e-commerce penetration for fresh coffee.
Sustainability will be a key differentiator, with brands adopting recyclable mono-material valve bags and paper-based solutions. The segment is expected to grow in line with overall coffee consumption, but with a rising share of value-added packaging. Current trend: Growing demand for fresh whole bean coffee, especially in specialty and premium segments, drives adoption of valve bags and high-barrier pouches..
Major trends: Increasing use of recyclable mono-material valve bags, Growth of small-format and single-origin packs, Integration of QR codes for traceability and brewing guidance, and Premiumization with matte finishes and tactile effects.

Ground coffee packaging remains a significant segment, driven by its widespread use in households and food service establishments. The primary packaging formats include vacuum-sealed bricks, which offer excellent barrier properties and extended shelf life, and resealable pouches for convenience. As consumers seek freshness and convenience, there is a gradual shift toward smaller pack sizes and single-serve sachets, particularly in emerging markets. Through 2035, the segment will be influenced by the growth of private label and value-tier products, which are cost-sensitive and often use standard flexible packaging. Demand-side indicators include retail sales of ground coffee, food service outlet growth, and private label penetration.
Sustainability pressures will encourage the adoption of paper-based and recyclable flexible packaging, although cost remains a barrier in price-sensitive markets. Current trend: Steady demand for ground coffee in retail and food service, with a shift toward vacuum-sealed bricks and resealable pouches for convenience..

The segment is dominated by glass jars and flexible refill pouches, with a growing emphasis on lightweighting and cost reduction. Through 2035, demand will be supported by urbanization and busy lifestyles, especially in Asia-Pacific and Latin America. However, the segment faces competition from single-serve and ready-to-drink formats. Demand-side indicators include instant coffee retail volumes, household penetration, and income levels. Sustainability trends are prompting brands to offer refill pouches and explore recyclable packaging, but glass remains preferred for premium instant coffee.
The segment is expected to grow modestly, with flexible packaging gaining share due to cost and convenience advantages. Current trend: Instant coffee packaging demand is supported by affordability and convenience, with glass jars and flexible refill pouches dominating..
Major trends: Shift from glass jars to flexible refill pouches, Lightweighting of glass containers, Growth of premium instant coffee in recyclable packaging, and Expansion of instant coffee sachets in emerging markets.
Coffee pods and capsules represent the fastest-growing end-use segment for coffee packaging, fueled by consumer demand for convenience, consistency, and premium coffee experiences. Packaging for this segment includes plastic and aluminum capsules, as well as compostable and recyclable alternatives. The segment is characterized by high barrier requirements to protect coffee from oxygen and moisture, and by significant investment in proprietary systems. Through 2035, growth will be driven by the expansion of single-serve coffee machines in households and offices, particularly in North America and Europe, and by rising adoption in Asia-Pacific.
Demand-side indicators include machine sales, capsule consumption per capita, and the development of sustainable capsule solutions. The segment faces sustainability challenges, with brands increasingly offering recyclable or compostable capsules to address environmental concerns. Current trend: Rapid growth in single-serve pods and capsules, driven by convenience and premiumization, requiring specialized barrier packaging..
Major trends: Development of recyclable and compostable capsules, Growth of private label capsules compatible with major systems, Premiumization with specialty and single-origin capsules, and Expansion of capsule offerings in emerging markets.
Representative participants: Amcor plc, Sealed Air Corporation, Constantia Flexibles, Goglio S.p.A, and Berry Global Group.

Ready-to-drink (RTD) coffee packaging is a dynamic segment driven by changing consumer lifestyles and the growing popularity of cold brew and iced coffee. Packaging formats include aluminum cans, PET bottles, and cartons, with a focus on convenience, portability, and shelf appeal. Through 2035, the segment is expected to grow rapidly, particularly in North America and Asia-Pacific, as consumers seek convenient caffeine options. Demand-side indicators include RTD coffee sales, new product launches, and consumption occasions. Sustainability is a key trend, with brands adopting recyclable aluminum cans and PET bottles, and exploring paper-based cartons.
The segment requires packaging that maintains product stability and taste over shelf life, often involving aseptic processing and barrier materials. Current trend: Rising demand for ready-to-drink coffee in cans, bottles, and cartons, supported by convenience and on-the-go consumption..
Major trends: Growth of aluminum cans for premium RTD coffee, Adoption of recyclable PET bottles, Expansion of cold brew and nitro coffee packaging, and Use of aseptic cartons for shelf-stable RTD coffee.

In terms of price range, WTI oil on November 14th was recorded in the range of $87.81–$89.64 per barrel, compared to approximately $85.21–$89.14 per barrel on November 13th. The lowest price within the new range was $2.60 per barrel higher than the previous day’s data.
Meanwhile, the Brent crude oil price range on November 14th was $95.07–$97.13 per barrel, wider than the approximately $95.71–$96.07 per barrel range of November 13th.

Although WTI and Brent prices edged higher towards the aforementioned benchmarks, the overall trend in the global oil market still does not indicate a sustainable recovery.
According to international trading results on November 13th, both types of oil closed the week down approximately 2.5%. The prospect of increased supply and signs of weakening fuel demand in the US continued to impact the market.
This suggests that the short-term upward volatility is not yet sufficient to determine whether oil prices have reversed course after a sharp decline. The market still needs more signals from production, consumption, and energy supply and demand forecasts next week.
For Vietnam, crude oil price fluctuations are important reference information, but domestic retail gasoline and diesel prices do not change immediately with each trading session. The price of refined petroleum products on the international market during the pricing period is one of the important bases for price regulation.
Domestic fuel prices today, November 14, 2026: Maintaining the decrease from November 12.
In Vietnam, retail gasoline and diesel prices on November 14th will continue to apply the Petrolimex price list effective from 3 PM on November 12th, 2026.
In the most recent price adjustment, all petroleum products were reduced. E5 RON 92-II gasoline in Zone 1 decreased by 1,500 VND/liter, from 20,890 VND/liter to 19,390 VND/liter.
E10 RON 95-III gasoline decreased by 1,310 VND/liter, to 19,840 VND/liter, while E10 RON 95-V decreased by 810 VND/liter, to 21,840 VND/liter.
The oil group also recorded significant decreases. Diesel DO 0.05S-II decreased by 1,870 VND/liter, to 26,820 VND/liter in Zone 1. Kerosene 2-K decreased by 2,200 VND/liter, to 26,400 VND/liter.

The drop in fuel prices helps people save on transportation costs, while also supporting transportation and manufacturing businesses in reducing fuel expenses.
For example, with a single purchase of 40 liters of E5 RON 92-II gasoline in Zone 1, consumers pay 60,000 VND less than before the price adjustment on November 12th.
For DO 0.05S-II diesel fuel, the reduction of 1,870 VND/liter is equivalent to a saving of 187,000 VND for every 100 liters of fuel purchased in Zone 1.
However, selling prices in Zone 2 are still higher than in Zone 1 due to the characteristics of the business area. This price level applies to areas as defined by the company’s price zoning regulations.
Fuel price forecast for November 19, 2026: Will prices rise again?
According to the regular price adjustment schedule every Thursday, the next fuel price adjustment is expected to take place at 3 PM on November 19, 2026.
Following the price drop on November 12th, the global oil market is experiencing mixed fluctuations. Reference data from November 14th shows WTI and Brent prices rising slightly, but considering the entire week, the prices of both types of oil still recorded significant declines.
Therefore, it is not yet possible to confirm whether domestic gasoline and diesel prices will rise again in the next adjustment period.
If international crude oil and refined petroleum product prices continue to recover in the early trading sessions of next week, upward pressure on retail prices may emerge.
Conversely, if world refined product prices remain low or continue to fall, domestic gasoline and diesel prices are likely to remain stable or be further reduced.
Besides fluctuations in product prices, exchange rates, and factors such as taxes, business costs, and regulatory stabilization mechanisms, all of these can affect operational results.
Notably, the increase or decrease in prices of E5 RON 92 gasoline, E10 RON 95 gasoline, and diesel fuel may not necessarily be the same due to differences in supply and demand for each product.
At present, there is insufficient data from the new pricing period to accurately predict the adjustment on November 19th.
For the time being, consumers will continue to purchase gasoline and diesel according to the Petrolimex price list effective from November 12th. The developments in international fuel prices in the coming days will be a key factor in assessing the possibility of changes in domestic retail prices.

The article covers the following subjects:
Major Takeaways
Main scenario: Consider long positions from corrections above 84.25 with a target of 107.00–115.50. A buy signal: the price holds above 84.25. Stop Loss: below 82.75, Take Profit: 107.00–115.50.
Alternative scenario: Breakout and consolidation below 84.25 will allow the asset to continue declining to the levels of 78.30–73.40. A sell signal: the level of 84.25 is broken to the downside. Stop Loss: above 85.75, Take Profit: 78.30–73.40.
Main Scenario
Consider long positions from corrections above 84.25 with a target of 107.00–115.50.
Alternative Scenario
Breakout and consolidation below 84.25 will allow the asset to continue declining to the levels of 78.30–73.40.
Analysis
On the weekly chart, a descending correction has likely finished developing as the second wave of larger degree (2) and an ascending third wave (3) is forming. On the daily time frame, the first wave of smaller degree 1 of (3) has apparently formed, a downward correction has been completed as the second wave 2 of (3), and the third wave 3 of (3) is developing, with wave i of 3 still unfolding as its part. On the H4 time frame, wave (iii) of i has formed, a local correction has been completed as wave (iv) of i, and wave (v) of i has started developing. If the presumption is correct, WTI will continue to rise to 107.00–115.50. The level of 84.25 is critical in this scenario as a breakout below it will enable the asset to continue declining to the levels of 78.30–73.40.
This forecast is based on the Elliott Wave Theory. When developing trading strategies, it is essential to consider fundamental factors, as the market situation can change at any time.

U.S. Dollar Index gains ground as traders focus on Producer Prices data. PPI increased by +0.3% month-over-month in October, compared to analyst forecast of +0.4%. Core PPI grew by +0.3%, in line with analyst estimates.
Currently, U.S. Dollar Index is trying to settle above the resistance at 103.15 – 103.30. In case this attempt is successful, U.S. Dollar Index will head towards the next resistance level, which is located in the 104.60 – 104.75 range. I’d note that RSI is in the overbought territory, so the risks of a pullback are increasing.

Analysis
An ascending third wave of larger degree (3) has likely formed on the weekly chart, and a bearish correction is developing as the fourth wave (4). On the daily time frame, wave A of (4) has apparently formed, and a correction has been completed as wave B of (4). On the H4 time frame, wave C of (4) is developing. Within it, the first wave of smaller degree i of C has formed, a local correction has been completed as the second wave ii of C, and the third wave iii of C is developing. If the presumption is correct, XAU/USD will continue to decline to 3,593.00–3,127.70. The level of 4,145.15 is critical in this scenario as a breakout above it will enable the asset to continue rising to the levels of 4,381.26–4,708.00.

The pair’s lack of positive momentum has led to some intraday bearish trading, with the price retesting the initial support level at 176.15 before holding above it, seeking to confirm its commitment to the bullish corrective scenario.
The price currently needs fresh positive momentum to facilitate a move toward the bullish targets, initially advancing toward 177.40 before attempting to renew pressure on the resistance level at 178.10. However, a break below the current support and sustained trading beneath it would force the pair into strong bearish trading, potentially driving it toward 175.50 and then testing support near 174.90.
The expected trading range for today is between 176.40 and 178.10.
Britain’s economy grew 0.7% in the third quarter, in line with forecasts and its fastest pace in about two and a half years, the Office for National Statistics said. Services rose 0.9%, and computer programming and consultancy grew 4.4%. The ONS said there was “widespread strength in industries which may be related to artificial intelligence,” Reuters reported. Business investment rose only 0.4%. The Bank of England now expects 1.6% growth this year, above the Office for Budget Responsibility’s 1.2% forecast, Reuters said.
“The GDP numbers were good news … they show you there’s good momentum in AI roll-out and services in the UK economy,” said Kenneth Broux, FX and rates strategist at Societe Generale. Even so, the figures had little immediate impact on sterling, which was down 0.06% at $1.3271, Reuters reported. In my view, strong growth would normally lift a currency, but the dollar’s widening rate advantage is outweighing it for now.
The pair continued to exhibit mixed trading amid repeated attempts to move above the 212.00 barrier, along with ongoing conflicting signals from the main indicators. Yesterday, the price slipped to 210.90 before beginning to form some bullish waves, currently trading near 211.50.
We emphasize the importance of holding above 210.40, as this would give the price an opportunity to regain positive momentum and attempt to break above the barrier and stabilize beyond it. This would strengthen the chances of achieving further gains toward 212.90, followed by a test of the main resistance at 213.50. However, breaking below 210.40 and holding beneath it would invalidate the current bullish outlook.
The expected trading range for today is between 210.50 and 212.00.
