# Pound To Dollar Week-Ahead Forecast: US CPI, UK GDP Key Risks

> GBP/USD was volatile after the US midterm elections and was near 1.3394 at the time of writing, below a weekly high of 1.3498. The dollar recovered after a technology-stock sell-off boosted safe-haven demand and stronger-than-expected US payroll growth supported expectations for Federal Reserve rate hikes; upcoming US CPI and UK GDP data are identified as risks.
