GBP Intraday Trend Analysis
Fundamental Analysis：
The UK government’s austerity measures will not hurt economic growth in the short term. Much of the economic pain has been postponed until after the next general election. But the measures won’t help the economy much in the short term either.
By the end of 2023, the UK’s unemployment rate will rise from the current 3.6% to about 5%, resulting in about 200,000 people losing their jobs. The hotel and retail sectors are likely to lose the most as consumers’ discretionary spending power declines.
