Market Comment - 12th January 2022

Good morning,

Other parts of the UK are now starting to relax their restrictions around Coronavirus. This appears to have created some support for the GBP/EUR rate which remains fixed in a battle between breaking out of resistance or failing and dropping back sharply. From a technical perspective the trading range is tightening up and has been since the 4th January. This is interesting as it indicates a potentially strong move in the near future. Which direction is the crystal ball question. We are watching eagerly.

It's a similar story across the board with the Pound....perhaps an escalation in the No. 10 party debacle could be the mover. It's a story that's unlikely to go away in a hurry. Especially if the PM was present.

However it might be the Inflation Data out from the States later that causes the next fluctuation as this will be a potential indicator of a rate rise by the FED.

Overnight the Chinese inflation numbers came in below expectation. Analysts had predicted growth of 1.8% but it came in at 1.5% perhaps taking pressure off the PBoC to raise rates. However the rate is currently 3.8% which is relatively reasonable when compared to the Europe, the UK and the US.

Besides the US inflation numbers there's not much else to report.
