Analysts are predicting that the US inflation number will have gone up in July compared with June. The June figure showed annualised growth of 3% and was indicating a trend back down from the eye watering highs. However the July figure, reported today, is expected to show a return upwards to 3.3%.
GBP/USD has been trending sideways this week, so this figure could trigger a high degree of volatility.
