GBP\/AUD<\/a> is slightly bearish in early trading on Wednesday. Currently, the pair is trading at 1.9257, down 0.03% as of 6:45 AM UTC. However, the price is increasing right now, moving away from the recent daily low at 1.9214.<\/p>\n

The pound<\/a> started to rebound after the Nationwide Building Society said earlier today that the annual growth of British house prices accelerated to 1.9% this month, from 1.4% in December, thus beating estimates. This is the fastest annual growth rate since November 2018, adding to confidence ahead of the Bank of England\u2019s (BoE) meeting to decide the interest rate tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Nationwide’s chief economist Robert Gardner commented<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cHealthy labour market conditions and low borrowing costs appear to be offsetting the drag from the uncertain economic outlook.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

In January alone, house prices rose 0.5% in monthly terms, up from 0.1% in December. Analysts polled by Reuters expected an increase of 0.3%.<\/p>\n

Howard Archer, an economist at EY ITEM Club, stated:<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is compelling evidence that the housing market has got an initial leg-up from increased optimism and reduced uncertainties following the decisive general election result as well as greater near-term clarity on Brexit.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Archer added that he was upgrading his prediction for house price gains this year to 2.8% from 2.0%.<\/p>\n

Earlier today, Australia released its inflation data<\/a>, which increased in the last quarter of 2019. The consumer price index (CPI) rose by 0.7% in the three months to December, while analysts expected a 0.6% increase. Prices were driven by gains in domestic holidays, cigarettes, travel, fuel and fruits.<\/p>\n

The annual pace of the inflation rose to 1.8%, though it\u2019s still below the target of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), which is set at 2-3%. A key figure of core inflation, referred to as Trimmed Mean CPI, slowed last quarter to 1.6%, keeping below target for the fourth year in a row.<\/p>\n

In fact, precisely this ongoing weakness in the core CPI measure was one reason why the central bank decided to cut the interest rate on three occasions last year, to a record low at 1.75%.<\/p>\n

The Aussie continues to be under pressure amid fears of returning bushfires and the outbreak of a coronavirus in China, which killed 132 people at the end of Tuesday.<\/p>\n
