The GBPUSD lifted after PMI slips lower than expected.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The pair of the Pound sterling against the dollar index lifted after the composite PMI slipped lower than economists forecast. The UK composite PMI falls to 54.0 in May from 53.3 in April, higher than economists polled by Reuters forecast of 53.9. Besides, the service PMI slightly reduced from 55.9 in April to 55.2 in May, upbeat the market consensuses forecast at 55.2. Although the PMI reading is diminished, the readings are above the 50 threshold reflecting the overall economy expanded in the month. According to a survey by S&P Global, the main contribution to the growth of service companies in the UK was the strongest input costs, as higher wage payments led to a sharp rise in price charges. Input costs have edged up since February and, while well below their historic peak a year ago, remain above levels seen before the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, the gains of the GBPUSD pairs bolster the weakening of the dollar. The US service industry reported a slowing pace of growth and recorded at 54.9 in May when compared to 53.6 the previous month, data announced by Markit. Therefore, it increases the odds that the Fed will pause on a rate hike in the next monetary policy. As of writing, the pair of GBPUSD inched up by 0.06% to 1.2447.<\/p>\n

In the commodities market, crude oil prices were traded lower by -0.64% to $71.70 per barrel after investors digest the news on Saudi Arab production cuts. Besides, gold prices edged down by -0.10% to $1960.12 per troy ounce as the dollar strengthened.<\/p>\n
