GBPUSD Analysis: The pound fluctuates widely

In this comprehensive analysis, Ultima Markets brings you an insightful breakdown of the GBPUSD for MAR 25, 2025.

Fundamental Analysis of GBPUSDGBPUSD Key Takeaways

  • UK March PMI data: The initial value of the UK manufacturing PMI in March was 44.6, a new low in 18 months. The initial value of the UK service industry PMI in March was 53.2, a new high in 7 months. The initial value of the UK composite PMI in March was 52.0, a new high in 6 months.
  • The UK budget is about to be announced: The UK will announce the budget on Wednesday. If it disappoints the market, the pound will face the risk of falling. The expected spending cuts should be enough to meet the UK’s fiscal rules. However, with “extremely limited fiscal room for maneuver”, any mistakes that lead to a negative reaction in UK government bonds or a sharp drop in UK economic growth expectations may hit the pound.

  • Stochastic oscillator:The indicator sends a long signal in the oversold area, and the fast line and slow line entangle and oscillate upward. It is worth noting that the current exchange rate is diverging from the indicator trend, suggesting that the short-term exchange rate is in adjustment.
  • Oscillating range: The volatility of the pound soared after the data was released yesterday. Since the key resistance was not broken above and below, the current exchange rate will be dominated by the idea of oscillation.
