Analysts say a speech from a less-hawkish Fed chair Jerome Powell has allowed sterling “a breather”, allowing it to surpass the $1.22 mark on Thursday...

The pound rallied above $1.22 for the first time since August on Thursday, after a hint by the Federal Reserve that it may be drawing its rate hiking season to a close soon.

Sterling GBPUSD jumped 1.2% to a high of $1.2234 against the greenback, its loftiest since Aug. 1 when it reached $1.2251. The pound got an extra lift after a key U.S. inflation gauge showed prices are cooling. He indicated that the Fed could raise interest rates by half a percentage point, bringing its benchmark rate to 4.25%-4.5% range, but balanced that with some hawkish points.

Chris Turner, global head of markets for UK & CEE at ING, theorized that the U.K. pound could reach $1.23 due to the dollar being “seasonally weak” in December, or fall back down to $1.15 by the new year. Echoing that view, Dean Turner, chief eurozone and U.K. economist at UBS Global Wealth Management, said investors are “convinced” that U.K. finances are in a more stable plane following the Autumn statement from Hunt earlier this month.
