For GBP/USD, the ball now shifts to the Bank of England, which has to weigh economic optimism and the spread of the Delta covid variant. Read more...

GBP/USD Forecast: Recovery from the Fed? Only a dead-cat bounce for Delta-depressed pound

GBP/USD has been struggling to recover from the Fed-fueled dollar storm. Weak UK retail sales and covid's rapid spread have been weighing on sterling. Friday's four-hour chart is showing that cable is moderately oversold. When will "Freddom Day" come? That is a question many Brits are asking themselves after the government postponed the lifting of the last restrictions to July 19 – but reportedly considers bringing it forward to July 5. However, such hopes will likely be dashed. Read more...

GBP/USD dives to fresh multi-week lows amid sustained USD buying

GBP/USD remained under some heavy selling pressure amid a broad-based USD strength. The Fed’s hawkish turn, the risk-off mood continued boosting the safe-haven greenback. COVID-19/Brexit jitters weighed on the British pound and contributed to the selling bias.

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar. Fresh US data, including the September PCE inflation numbers and the latest read on December consumer sentiment, didn’t really move the needle, so the pair is still on course to finish the week with a respectable gain.

GBP/USD trims gains, recedes toward 1.3320

GBP/USD is struggling to keep its daily advance, coming under fresh pressure and retreating to the 1.3320 zone following a mild bullish attempt in the Greenback.

Gold is now losing the grip and receding to the key $4,200 region per troy ounce following some signs of life in the Greenback and a marked bounce in US Treasury yields across the board. The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.
