British pound breakout soon?
Information is not investment advice
Great Britain released retail sales data on May 20, 9:00 GMT+3. The reading outperformed expectations greatly (+1.4% actual vs. -0.3% forecast). Consumer spending is important for the economy as it is the main metric for understanding the market’s sentiment. Looking more broadly, in the three months to April 2022, sales volumes fell by 0.3% compared with the previous three months; this continues the downward trend since summer 2021.
It is unusual for Britain to see an increase in spending as the UK continues the tightening program, and the UK CPI is 9.0% (a 40-year high). The MPC forecasts that it will rise to double digits in the fourth quarter of this year. This is a very uncomfortable situation for a monetary policymaker targeted at achieving inflation of 2%.
Huw Pill, head of monetary analysis in BoE, expects inflation to return to the targets shortly after entering the double-digit zone.
As for the chart, high retail sales data is very bullish for the GBPUSD pair. We have an inversed head and shoulders pattern. On the breakout, GBPUSD is likely to reach 1.2700 over the next week. Look for the soar above 1.2500 before opening a trade.

How Will BoJ Meeting Affect the Yen
Hold onto your hats, folks! The Japanese yen took a nosedive after the Bank of Japan (BOJ) left its ultra-loose policy settings unchanged, including its closely watched yield curve control (YCC) policy. But wait, there's more! The BOJ also removed its forward guidance, which had previously pledged to keep interest rates at current or lower levels. So, what's the scoop? Market expectations had been subdued going into the meeting, but some were still hoping for tweaks to the forward guidance to prepare for an eventual exit from the bank's massive stimulus
