The British Pound is under pressure as investors take money off the table ahead of next week's inflation data release and Bank of England decision.

Sterling is the second-best performing major currency of 2024 but the rally will be tested if next week's inflation data undershoots expectations and the Bank of England signals it is inclined to cut interest rates in August.

Currently, markets see less than a 50% chance of an August rate cut, which implies there is scope for a repricing in expectations in a GBP-negative direction. "Monetary policy will remain a more important driver for the pound sterling," says David Alexander Meier, an analyst at Julius Baer.

The Pound to Dollar exchange rate is down 0.64% on the day at 1.2680, meaning it could be about to register its largest daily loss since April. The Pound to Euro exchange rate flew to 1.19, a new 22-month high earlier in the day owing to ongoing anxiety linked to France, but the pair has given back some of those gains to quote at 1.1855.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday during a meeting with the participants of the Time of Heroes program that almost 700,000 Russian soldiers are currently fighting in Ukraine.

Putin further said that Russian troops now have to "push back the front line in the direction of Kharkiv in order to reduce terrorist attacks on Belgorod and other populated areas."

Additionally, the Russian leader underlined that Moscow will consider further retaliatory actions if "the enemy" keeps conducting "terrorist attacks" inside the Russian territory.
