GBP/USD Price Analysis: A breakout of triangle looks likely amid positive market impulse

The GBP/USD pair has refreshed its day’s high above the critical resistance of 1.2150 in the Asian session. The Cable has picked strength amid the improved risk appetite of investors after they digested the United States inflation-inspired anxiety.

S&P500 futures are displaying a subdued performance after a bullish Monday, portraying a minor caution amid overall positive sentiment. The US Dollar Index (DXY) has further dropped below 102.85, showing a sheer decline in the safe-haven’s appeal. The Pound Sterling will display a power-pack action after the release of the United Kingdom employment data. Read more...

GBP/USD bulls approach 1.2150 ahead of UK employment, US inflation figures

GBP/USD marches towards 1.2150 while extending the week-start rebound from the key technical support to early Tuesday morning in Asia. In doing so, the Cable pair cheers the broad US Dollar pullback, as well as the risk-on mood, amid positive catalysts emanating from the UK. Adding strength to the quote’s recovery could be the trader’s preparations for the UK’s monthly employment data and the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) for January.

An end to the 20-day strikes by the London bus drivers and the British firms' readiness to inflate the workers’ pay by the most since 2012 seemed to have favored the GBP/USD buyers of late. The news becomes more important as Bank of England (BoE) policymaker Jonathan Haskel highlighted that further rate hikes will depend upon the incoming data. Read more...

GBP/USD edges lower below 1.3650, with eyes on US PCE data

GBP/USD trades with a negative bias below 1.3650 in the European session on Wednesday, eroding a part of the previous day's strong gains. The pair, however, remains within striking distance of a six-month top, set last Friday, as traders keenly await the release of the US Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index data for a fresh impetus.

EUR/USD holds lower ground near 1.1650 ahead of key US data

EUR/USD is holding lower ground toward 1.1650 in Wednesday's European session. The US Dollar is recovering modestly amid profit-taking and Middle East uncertainty. US inflation, tracked by the PCE, and another revision of Q2 GDP data should keep investors entertained on Wednesday.

Gold remains depressed below $4,650 on firmer USD; looks to US PCE for Fed rate outlook

Gold sticks to modest losses below $4,650 heading into the European session, though it lacks bearish conviction and remains confined within the previous day's broader range. The US Dollar regains positive traction amid some repositioning ahead of the US Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index and is seen as weighing on the commodity. Adding to this, Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh's remarks at the Jackson Hole Symposium on Friday might offer more cues about the interest rate path.

Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, Pepe: Profit-taking cools last week’s rally

Meme coins, including Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and Pepe (PEPE), are losing their bullish momentum after last week’s double-digit gains. Facing downside pressure amid profit-taking, DOGE and PEPE risk further decline while SHIB holds at a support level.

America’s self‑inflicted trade wound

I’m conflicted about the trade war that the U.S. has started with Canada. Let’s be clear: any representation that Canada has been taking unfair advantage of the U.S. or that they have been treating us badly for years is a bogus characterization. In reality, the shoe is on the other foot. It’s the U.S. that has been behaving badly.

Canada hits US goods with tariffs; The rate market sees a problem

On September 8, Canada begins charging its own importers 15%, 25% and 50% on roughly 700 lines of American goods. The measure is billed as dollar for dollar, and on the arithmetic of covered trade it is. What it is not is a tax on the United States.
