Fundamental Overview:
UK inflationary pressures have softened as evidenced by the December’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) report, released on Wednesday.
UK headline inflation eased to 10.5% on an annual basis and the core CPI that excludes oil and food prices held steady at 6.3%.
Minor softening of UK inflation is insufficient to trim hawkish BoE bets, continuation of hawkish monetary policy by the bank of England (BoE) likely.
Major Support and Resistance Levels:
Support levels - 1.1267 (21-EMA), Resistance levels - 1.1348 (110-EMA)
Summary: GBP/CHF trades directional within the daily cloud. Watch out for cloud break out for clear direction.
