Global macro overview for 19/01/2016:
The UK inflation data has been released early this morning and all of them were better than expected. The consumer price index has rose slightly to the level of 0.1% versus 0.0% last month and the retail price index rose to the level of 0.3% from 0.2% a month before. However, this data favors the BoE 2% inflation projections, they might be a pretty good beginning of inflation picking up. This is why the BoE newest member Gertjan Vlieghe hinted that interest rates may remain lower for longer or even be cut in case a slowdown in Britain's economy intensifies and there is no pressure from inflation readings.
The GBP/USD rose after the data were released, but the downtrend still continues. The next support is seen at the level of 1.4236 and next resistance is seen at the level of 1.4351.
