GBP/USD weekly special report based on 1 Lot Calculation:

EVENTS:

  • FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6 AT 13:30 GMT+1: US NONFARM PAYROLLS AND UNEMPLOYMENT RATE (AUGUST). The US labour market has seen some weakness over the past few months as the unemployment rate managed to rise to its highest since late 2021 (4.3%). This is creating a headache to the US Federal Reserve ahead of the September meeting and this week’s data could give better clues whether the Fed could be more aggressive in cutting interest rates in the next few months.
  • FEDERAL RESERVE INTEREST RATE DECISION (WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18 AT 19:00 GMT+1). The most recent economic turmoil in the US raised chances that the Fed could cut interest rates by 25 basis points in September, another 50 basis points in November and 25 basis points in December 2024. All in all, that could reduce interest rates from the current 5.5% (the highest in over 20 years) to 4.50%.
  • BANK OF ENGLAND INTEREST RATE DECISION (THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19 AT 12:00 GMT+1). The Bank of England is expcted to keep cutting its rates, too. In September, the bank is expected to slash rates by 25 basis points to 4.75% from the current 5.00%. This would be its second cut in 2024.
