The EUR/GBP cross was quiet on Thursday, trading in the 0.8643 - 0.8647 range. Indicators turned flat on the daily chart, favouring a neutral stance with a slight bearish bias.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) shows a flat slope in the positive territory, while the Moving Average Convergence (MACD) exhibits stagnant red bars. Those indicators are showing a similar trajectory on the four-hour chart and indicates that investors seem to be waiting for a fundamental stimulus. Back to the daily chart, the pair is below the 20 and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs), but above the 100-day SMA, suggesting that the bears are have the upperhand on the broader scale. Furthermore, the buyers need to gather momentum and make a significant move to regain the 20-day SMA and in case of not doing so, further downside may be on the horizon.

Support levels: 0.8630, 0.8615, 0.8600.

Resistance levels: 0.8655 (20-day SMA), 0.8680, 0.8700.

EUR/USD stays well offered below 1.1800

The selling pressure on EUR/USD is picking up pace, with the pair slipping decisively below the key 1.1800 level and sliding to fresh two week lows as Wednesday’s session draws to a close. The move lower comes as the US Dollar finds renewed strength after the latest round of US data and the release of the FOMC Minutes.

GBP/USD reaches multi-day lows near 1.3500

GBP/USD reverses its initial upside momentum and is now adding to previous declines, approaching the 1.3500 region on Wednesday. Cable’s downtick comes on the back of decent gains in the Greenback and easing UK inflation figures, which seem to have reinforced the case for a BoE rate cut in March.

Gold battle to regain $5,000 continues

Gold is back on the front foot on Wednesday, shaking off part of the early week softness and challenging two-day highs near the $5,000 mark per troy ounce. The move comes ahead of the FOMC Minutes and is unfolding despite an intense rebound in the US Dollar.

Mixed UK inflation data no gamechanger for the Bank of England

Food inflation plunged in January, but service sector price pressure is proving stickier. We continue to expect Bank of England rate cuts in March and June. The latest UK inflation read is a mixed bag for the Bank of England, but we doubt it drastically changes the odds of a March rate cut.
