GBP/USD Price Analysis: Recaptures 50-DMA on the road to recovery

GBP/USD is looking to build onto Friday’s rebound from five-week lows of 1.3357 reached last Thursday, as the overall upbeat market mood favors the high-beta currency in the pound.

Collaborating with the upswing in the cable, the US dollar eases from one-and-a-half-year highs against its main peers, as investors take profits off the table ahead of the BOE interest rate decision and US payrolls. Read more...

GBP/USD surrenders a major part of its intraday gains, retreats back to 1.3400 mark

The GBP/USD pair surrendered a major part of its intraday gains and was last seen hovering near the lower end of its daily trading range, just above the 1.3400 mark.

A combination of supporting factors assisted the GBP/USD pair to gain positive traction for the second successive day on Monday and recover further from over one-month low touched last week. The US dollar witnessed some profit-taking from a one-and-half year high amid the continued flattening of the US Treasury yield curve. Read more...

GBP/USD to retest medium-term support at 1.3189/35 – Credit Suisse

GBP/USD continues to essentially hold the “neckline” to the December base at 1.3376 for now. But the broader risk is seen lower for a retest of medium-term support at 1.3189/35, according to economists at Credit Suisse.

“With the USD expected to strengthen further, we look for a sustained move below 1.3376 in due course to clear the way for further weakness to 1.3296 and eventually a retest of medium-term support at 1.3189/35 – the 38.2% retracement of the 2020/2021 uptrend and 2021 lows. We would look for a fresh floor here. Should weakness extend this would warn of a significant break lower with support seen next at 1.2855/29.” Read more...

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. Even though US consumer sentiment surprised to the upside, the US Dollar isn’t getting much love, as traders are far more interested in what the Fed will say next week.

Gold makes a U-turn, back to $4,200

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.
