<p data-slate-block="regular" data-slate-type="paragraph" data-slate-value="{" data-slate-node="element"><span data-slate-node="text">We haven’t been treated to many reports like this over the last couple of years, and even when we have any enthusiasm has quickly been extinguished. But this feels different. Without wanting to fall victim to the “this time it’s different” mantra that often precedes a terrible turn of events, there is something more promising about this shift.</span></p>
<p data-slate-block="regular" data-slate-type="paragraph" data-slate-value="{" data-slate-node="element"><span data-slate-node="text">It follows similar declines in the US and the eurozone in recent months, both of which were sharper than expected and at the headline and core level. Unless this is a blip across the board, which is possible, it may be a sign that inflation is on a path to more modest and sustainable levels. </span></p>
<p data-slate-block="regular" data-slate-type="paragraph" data-slate-value="{" data-slate-node="element"><span data-slate-node="text">Of course, there’s still an awfully long way to go and the central bank is not going to declare victory on the back of one release. But those wild interest rate forecasts of 6.5%+ that we’ve been seeing may start to be pared back, perhaps quite significantly as it becomes clear that favourable base effects combined with lower energy and food inflation and the impact of past hikes start to have a substantial impact on the data. </span></p>
<p data-slate-block="regular" data-slate-type="paragraph" data-slate-value="{" data-slate-node="element"><span data-slate-node="text">The pound has fallen quite heavily on the back of the release which probably reflects those expectations now being pared back. I don’t want to get too carried away but peak rate expectations may now be behind us which could make for a more hopeful second half of the year. </span></p>

<p>Source – OANDA on Trading View</p>
<p>It broke back below 1.30 against the dollar only a few days after moving above here for the first time since April last year. This highlights just how much of a surprise today’s data was given how disappointing it’s been for many months now.</p>
<p>With the price now trending lower, the levels below that stand out as potential support are 1.2866 – 50 fib – and, possibly to a greater extent 1.28 – 61.8 fib.</p>
<p>In reality, the area between the two will be most interesting as it also falls around the highs from last month and could also potentially roughly coincide with a test of the rising trend line. A move below here could suggest the recovery rally in cable may have peaked for now.</p>
