The GBP/USD pair rebounded on Tuesday, breaking a three-day losing streak and returning to the 1.24500 level touching range, up around two-thirds of one per cent for the day. Global currency markets sold off the US Dollar slightly as risk appetite gradually recovered across the board, helped by a speech from Federal Reserve (Fed) Chairman Jerome Powell and expectations that the latest iteration of US President Donald Trump's tariff threats would be averted through last-minute concessions, as has been the custom since Donald Trump took over the White House.UK data remains scarce midweek, but cable traders will be keeping an eye on Thursday's release of UK gross domestic product (GDP) data. The latest forecasts indicate that UK GDP will recover to 1.1% year-on-year in the fourth quarter, although the fourth quarter GDP figure is expected to contract by -0.1%.The key indicator on Wednesday will be the US Consumer Price Index (CPI). US core CPI inflation is expected to remain at 2.9% year-on-year, while core CPI inflation is expected to decline to 3.1% from the previous reading of 3.2%. On Thursday, the US Producer Price Index (PPI) will be released, with core PPI inflation expected to ease slightly to 3.3% y/y from 3.5%.
