GBP/USD trims losses, disputes 1.3400

GBP/USD retreats after reaching a three-week high above 1.3430 and puts the 1.3400 region to the test on Thursday. Although easing political uncertainty in the UK helps the quid limit its downside, escalating tensions in the Middle East support the Greenback, keeping Cable under scrutiny.

EUR/USD off highs, back to 1.1430

EUR/USD loses momentum after briefly climbing to the 1.1450 area earlier in the day, revisiting the 1.1430 region on Thursday. Escalating tensions in the Middle East fail to underpin the US Dollar, although a broad sense of caution continues to prevail among market participants.

Gold stages a modest rebound on Thursday, setting aside a three-day losing streak and managing to surpass the $4,100 mark per troy ounce. However, steady geopolitical tensions have revived concerns over persistently high global inflation, reinforcing expectations of higher rates across the board and somewhat curtailing the yellow metal’s upside potential.

Bitcoin trades at $63,000 on Thursday, recovering slightly after facing rejection near $64,000. Renewed geopolitical uncertainty has dampened risk appetite, limiting BTC upside potential.

Central banks have spent years telling markets what might come next. Now, traders face the possibility that they say a lot less. From the Federal Reserve to the European Central Bank and the Bank of England, policymakers are pushing back against forward guidance.
