Furthermore, inflationary pressure is increasingly in the UK economy according to CPI and PPI figures.<\/p><p>Rising inflation could put pressure on the Bank of England to raise rates if steep monthly increases in the CPI becomes a trend.

If this comes to pass then the Bank of England may need to cautiously raise rates.<\/p><p>However, the battle the Bank of England faces is raising rates too fast and too high. The central bank will have to be very careful as the UK housing market is extremely sensitive to rate increases, as even a minor increase can spook borrowers.<\/p><p>US housing starts tumbled by nearly 10 percent earlier this week, as surging lumber prices caused house hunters in the United States to stop purchasing due to the rapidly rising price tag of purchasing a new home.<\/p><p>Getting technical, <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2Zn4HaM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GBPUSD<\/a> bulls could take aim at the April 2018 trading high if the air slices through the current yearly high, around 1.4240.
