Mid-Day Report: Sterling Jumps as CPI Accelerated to 4.4% in Feb

Sterling soars through recent resistance of 1.6434 to resume it's medium term rally today after stronger than expected inflation data from UK. Headline CPI accelerated sharply from 4.0% to 4.4% yoy in February, versus consensus of 4.2%. It's the strongest number since October 2008 and have been above BoE's target of 2% for 15 months. A 25bps is now fully priced in in the markets for July meeting, pulled ahead a month before that data. Nevertheless, the main question remains on whether BoE will hike in Q2 and strong expectation for that is needed to give Sterling sustainable boost, in particular against Euro. And hence, focus will now shift to tomorrow's BoE minutes for further hints. Other data released from UK saw public sector net borrowing rose to GBP 10.3b in February, above expectation of GBP 7.6b. CBI trends total orders improved to +5 in March.

Trade Idea: AUD/USD – Sell at 1.0145

Below intra-day support at 1.0037 would bring retracement to 1.0000 but reckon previous resistance at 0.9945/50 would limit downside
