GBP/USD rebounds above 1.3200 as USD loses traction

GBP/USD starts the week on a bullish note and advances toward 1.3250 on Monday. The pair recovers ground as the US Dollar uptrend falters and traders resort to profit-taking ahead of Tuesday's US-Iran peace talks and Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's appearance on Wednesday at the ECB Forum.

EUR/USD clings to modest gains near 1.1400

EUR/USD gains traction on Monday and trades moderately higher on the day above 1.1400, helped by a broadly weaker US Dollar. Traders continue to assess the developments surrounding talks to end the US war with Iran. The European Central Bank's annual forum and the US June employment data will be the highlights later this week.

Gold price remains in the negative territory around $4,050 in Monday's European trading.

However, a broad US Dollar retreat is helping limit Gold's downside.

Just like Fed, is BoJ’s independence under threat?

When talking about central bank independence, most of the focus has been on Donald Trump’s pressure on the Federal Reserve. But a similar story, a quieter one for now, seems to be happening on the other side of the Pacific: Japan’s government may be testing the Bank of Japan’s independence.

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
