Pound Sterling slumped amid negative economic prosect.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Pound Sterling slumped over the backdrop of negative economic prospect as the announcement of fiscal policy from UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak\u2019s failed to impress investors. Yesterday, Chancellor Rishi Sunak had announced the implementation of a fuel duty tax cut, a lift to the tax-free earnings threshold, a slight reduction to the tax rate for the bottom bracket and new support for businesses. Investors speculated that such new policies would not do much to improve the weak outlook for the UK economy as the high inflation risk continue to hover in in the market. According the Office for National Statistics, UK Consumer Price Index (CPI) notched up significantly from the previous reading of 5.5% to 6.2%, exceeding the market forecast at 5.9%. Besides, the rising tensions between Russia-Ukraine ahead of the meeting for the Western leaders had also diminished further risk appetite in the global financial market, dragging down the appeal for the risker asset such as Pound Sterling. As of writing, GBP\/USD depreciated by 0.08% to 1.3192.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the commodities market, the crude oil price depreciated by 0.55% to $115.65 per barrel as of writing mostly due to technical correction. Investors would continue to remain their focus toward US-EU meeting today to receive further trading signal. On the other hand, the gold price appreciated by 0.03% to $1940.45 per troy ounces as of writing amid risk-off sentiment in the global financial market.<\/p>\n
