Following Thursday's sharp decline, GBP/USD clings to small gains above 1.3300 in the American session on Friday, supported by the upbeat UK Retail Sales and July PMI data. Nevertheless, the pair's upside remains capped as investors cling to a cautious stance amid a further escalation of tensions in the Middle East. The US July PMI data failed to trigger relevant price action.

EUR/USD remains below 1.1400 after mixed US PMIs

EUR/USD pressures daily lows below the 1.1400 mark in the American session on Friday.

Gold looks set to build on a modest bullish gap-up opening on Monday, beyond $4,100, as hopes of US-Iran peace talks weigh heavily on crude oil prices, easing inflation fears and tempering Fed rate-hike bets. Moreover, the optimism drags the safe-haven US Dollar away from a one-month top, touched on Friday, and supports the non-yielding bullion. The focus now shifts to the crucial FOMC policy meeting this week.

US Dollar mid-year outlook: Exceptional currency, exceptional risks?
The US Dollar enters the second half of 2026 in a markedly different position from a year ago. The King currency has recovered, reflecting persistent US inflation, changing expectations for Fed policy, geopolitical tensions and renewed demand for defensive assets.
