📉 Sharp Pound Selloff as Inflation Drops Below BoE Target 📉 The pound experienced a significant selloff this morning, particularly against the US dollar, with the GBP/USD exchange rate tumbling to an eight-week low, breaking through a key support level. This downturn followed the release of the UK’s latest inflation figures, which revealed a drop from 2.2% to 1.7% in September—well below the forecast of 1.9% and the weakest inflation print since April 2021. The figures are also below the Bank of England’s 2% target, fueling expectations of back-to-back interest rate cuts in November and December. Meanwhile, the EUR/USD exchange rate is also under pressure, trading at a two-month low, as investors brace for a possible interest rate cut from the European Central Bank (ECB) this Thursday.
