🧠 Idea Description:
I am considering a long position on the GBP/AUD currency pair based on clear fundamental divergence between the two economies.
📊 Fundamental Summary:
🔹 🇬🇧 United Kingdom (GBP):
Inflation rose to 3.5% in April (Reuters) – this puts pressure on the Bank of England to pause rate cuts.
BoE interest rate is currently at 4.25%, and further cuts are unlikely (Bank of England).
Retail sales surprised to the upside at +1.2%, showing strong consumer demand (The Times).
🔹 🇦🇺 Australia (AUD):
The Reserve Bank of Australia cut rates to 3.85% – the second cut this year – as inflation returns to target (RBA).
Economic slowdown continues; unemployment is expected to rise in 2025 (RBA SMP).
🧭 Conclusion:
There is a clear divergence in monetary policy and economic outlook:
➡ GBP remains strong due to persistent inflation and resilient consumer demand.
➡ AUD weakens as rate cuts and economic slowdown weigh on sentiment.
📌 → Fundamentally supported long bias on GBP/AUD.
