GBP/USD vs Nasdaq 100

Latest data from 2026-05-11

GBPUSD
British Pound / US Dollar
1.3601
+0.33%
PAST
Cable gained 45 pips to 1.3601, supported by broad dollar weakness and solid UK services PMI data last week.
WHY
BoE rate path divergence from the Fed is widening — UK inflation persistence keeps the BoE on hold while Fed signals cuts. Sterling benefits.
WATCH
UK employment data Wednesday 09:00 TRT. Rising wages would reinforce BoE hawkishness and push cable toward 1.3700.
NAS100
Nasdaq 100
29,235.0
+2.35%
PAST
Nasdaq 100 hit a new all-time high at 29,235 — a 2.35% surge led by semis after the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index also reached a record.
WHY
AI capex cycle is entering a new phase. Hyperscalers are spending faster than consensus, and the market is rewarding the entire supply chain — from chips to cloud to cooling.
WATCH
30,000 round number is the next magnet. Earnings from Cisco and Applied Materials this week will test whether the AI narrative has more room.
