BoE rate decision
The momentum in markets is likely to be determined by the Bank of England’s interest rate decision today. It is expected that the bank rate will be reduced by 25 basis points,which itself might cause the Pound to weaken. Yet, the move is expected and hence might not cause a big drop, depending on the monetary policy statement. The trend of the GBPUSD looks set to move lower and also the GBPJPY currency pair might drop below the 195.50 zone as the trend based on the weekly chart currently shows.
Market talk
Markets might be influenced by recent news, that US President Trump will try and meet up again with Russian President Putin. Oil prices might also be reactive to the news currently as they continue to lose some steam. Furthermore the Dollar starts to lose some momentum again against other currencies, which helps to put risky assets like stocks and cryptos to the upside. The AUDUSD currency pair might also suggest that this momentum will continue for now. precious metals also rise on the back of the weaker Dollar currently.
