On April 14, the New York Times quoted an analysis of the statement of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) as saying that the head of the department, Elon Musk, said that the department will help the government save about 15% of the original amount, but due to calculation errors, the actual savings may be less. The newspaper pointed out that Musk initially said that his team could cut the US federal budget for the next fiscal year by $1 trillion by September 30. However, at a government meeting on Thursday, Musk said he expected the Department of Government Efficiency to save about $150 billion, only 15% of the original goal. "Even this number may be too high, because Musks agency has exaggerated its progress, accounting for billions of dollars in errors, expenses that will not occur in the next fiscal year, and making assumptions about expenses that may not occur at all," the newspaper wrote.On April 14, the British government said that the UK will suspend global tariffs on 89 products, saving at least 17 million pounds a year for businesses across the UK. In the next two years, the prices of 89 imported goods will be significantly reduced, covering pasta, juice, spices, plastic products and gardening supplies.Preliminary vote counting results released by the Gabonese Ministry of the Interior on the 13th showed that Gabons transitional President Nguema won the presidential election held on the 12th.US Geological Survey: A magnitude 6.5 earthquake occurred in the Fiji Islands area.U.S. Trade Representative Greer: I believe the United States will reach meaningful tariff agreements with multiple countries in the next few weeks.

Price action for GBP/USD on Friday's Asian session has seen it range between 1.1160 to 1.1555 as buyers prepare for the first weekly advance in three weeks. As a result, the cable pair is benefiting from the general weakness of the US dollar and the ambiguous outlook on the US dollar before to the release of important data from the UK and the US.

 

In a recent interview, UK Trade Secretary Kemi Badenoch said that the chancellor and the Bank of England are "working well" together.

 

As a result, the GBP/USD exchange rate is supported by expectations of a robust rate hike cycle from the Bank of England, or "Old Lady."

 

As a counterpoint, the US Dollar Index (DXY) has remained in the red at around 111.90, snapping a two-week uptrend. By this metric, the Fed's recent strong rhetoric and the widespread recession fears in the face of lowering inflation expectations are not justified by the dollar's performance against the six major currencies. Important for dollar traders today is the August Core PCE Price Index, which is expected to be 4.7% YoY, the same as the previous reading.

 

Final readings of the UK's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the second quarter (Q2) are expected to corroborate initial forecasts of -0.1%, making them important to track.

 

If incoming data verifies the projections, the GBP/USD could pare recent gains, which would be appropriate given the optimistic inflation estimates and fears of a UK economic downturn.

 

A significant break above a two-week-old resistance line, now support around 1.1035, is needed to keep GBP/USD investors upbeat, as is a move above the 100-day exponential moving average (EMA) surrounding the 1.1200 level. When the RSI reaches the overbought area, it usually means that further gains will be capped.
