Introduction

The GBP/USD consolidates above 1.2700 amid modest USD weakness, driven by a positive risk-on environment. Despite a rebound in the pair, rising tensions in the Red Sea pose potential challenges. Meanwhile, EUR/USD stabilizes near 1.0900, influenced by an improving risk mood. The Australian Dollar retraces gains as the market awaits potential policy rate reduction by the Australian Central Bank. Japanese Yen struggles against the USD, with investors anticipating dovish actions from the Bank of Japan amid geopolitical risks and China's economic concerns.

GBP/USD Consolidates Above 1.2700 On Modest USD Weakness.

GBP/USD kicks off the new week on a positive note, trading above 1.2700 early Monday. The risk-on environment bolsters the rebound of the major pair. However, the rising tension in the Red Sea might boost safe-haven asset demand and cap the pair's upside. GBP/USD staged a rebound in the second half of the previous week and erased a large portion of its weekly losses. The pair's near-term technical outlook is yet to point to a build-up of bullish momentum as it holds steady at around 1.2700 in the European morning on Monday. Nevertheless, investors remain indecisive about the Federal Reserve (Fed) policy pivot timing ahead of this week's key growth and inflation data from the US.

Introduction

GBP/USD gains momentum as the Bank of England signals a likely maintenance of its restrictive policy, reaching near 1.2740. Meanwhile, EUR/USD consolidates near 1.0900 amid uncertainty about the European Central Bank's potential interest rate cut. NZD/USD sees modest gains above mid-0.6000s, influenced by concerns about China's economy. USD/CAD grapples with retracement challenges amid upbeat crude prices, anticipating the Bank of Canada to hold its 5.0% policy rate in Wednesday's meeting.

GBP/USD Builds On Expectation As BoE To Maintain The Restrictive Policy Trades Near 1.2740.

GBP/USD moves upward for the second successive session on Tuesday, inching higher to near 1.2740. The expectations of a status quo in the BoE's monetary policy contribute to the positive performance of the Pound Sterling, which underpins the pair. GBP/USD staged a rebound in the second half of the previous week and erased a large portion of its weekly losses. The pair's near-term technical outlook is yet to point to a build-up of bullish momentum as it holds steady at around 1.2700 in the European morning on Monday. The US Dollar (USD) rally forced GBP/USD to come under bearish pressure last week. However, the improving risk mood toward the end of the week, as reflected by the impressive rally seen in Wall Street's main indexes, weighed on the USD and opened the door for a decisive rebound in the pair.

EUR/USD Stays Below 1.0900 After The German PMI Data.

EUR/USD continues fluctuating in a narrow channel below 1.0900 on Wednesday. The data from Germany showed that the private sector's economic activity continued to contract in early January, not allowing the Euro to gather recovery momentum. EUR/USD turned south and touched its lowest level since mid-December at 1.0820 during the American trading hours on Tuesday. Although the pair managed to recover above 1.0850 early Wednesday, the technical outlook is yet to point to a build-up of bullish momentum. Nevertheless, investors are likely to refrain from taking large positions ahead of the European Central Bank's (ECB) monetary policy announcements on Thursday.

GBP/USD Oscillates In The Trading Range Above 1.2700 Ahead Of The Fed, BoE Rate Decision.

The GBP/USD pair remains confined in a narrow trading range above the 1.2700 mark during the early European trading hours on Tuesday. Investors prefer to wait on the sidelines ahead of key events from the Fed and the BoE. GBP/USD continues to move up and down in a narrow band at around 1.2700 early Monday after closing the previous week virtually unchanged. The near-term technical outlook fails to provide a directional clue but the Federal Reserve's and the Bank of England's (BoE) policy announcements later this week could help the pair break out of its range. The cautious market mood at the beginning of the week helps the US Dollar (USD) stay resilient against its rivals and makes it difficult for GBP/USD to gather bullish momentum.

EUR/USD grapples near 1.0800 amidst Fed-induced US Dollar strength, with Chair Powell's insistence on inflation aligning with the 2% target bolstering the greenback.

EUR/USD Struggles Near 1.0800 On Fed-Led US Dollar Strength.

EUR/USD is battling 1.0800, consolidating the previous decline. Fed Chair Powell highlighted the need for inflation figures to reflect the Fed's 2% ceiling, pushing back against early rate cut expectations and boosting the US Dollar. The focus now shifts to the EU inflation data. The bullish momentum in the US dollar sparked renewed selling momentum in EUR/USD, dragging it to the lower end of the weekly range near the 1.0800 region. Moving forward, investors' debate is still expected to keep the door open to the first interest rate cut in March or May, with the probability of those outcomes at around 36% and 58%, respectively, according to Fed Watch Tool by CME Group.

GBP/USD hesitates around the mid-1.2700s following a robust post-BoE rebound, as the pair struggles to extend gains amid a narrow trading range. The US Dollar's strength, fueled by Fed Chair Powell's comments, impacts major currencies.

GBP/USD Pauses The Post-BoE Rally Near Mid-1.2700s Ahead Of US NFP.

The GBP/USD pair struggles to capitalize on the previous day's solid recovery of around 130 pips from the 1.2625 area, or over a two-week low, and oscillates in a narrow band during the early European session on Friday. After closing the second consecutive day in negative territory on Wednesday, GBP/USD continued to edge lower early Thursday and was last seen trading at around 1.2650. Although the technical outlook points to a bearish tilt in the near term, the pair faces a two-way risk heading into the Bank of England's (BoE) policy announcements. The US Dollar started to gather strength late Wednesday after Federal Reserve (Fed) Chairman Jerome Powell said that he doesn't think that a rate reduction in March is the base case scenario.

GBP/USD Extends Losses To Near 1.2610 As The Fed Rate Cut In March Appears Unlikely.

GBP/USD lost ground as US Dollar surged after blockbuster US jobs data. Fed Chair Jerome Powell reiterated that the March meeting is too soon to start rate cuts. BoE's Huw Pill mentioned that the right time for the rate cuts is probably still some time away. GBP/USD continues its decline for the second consecutive session, edging lower to around 1.2610 during the Asian trading hours on Monday. The Pound Sterling (GBP) faces challenges as the US Dollar (USD), measured by the US Dollar Index (DXY), reaches an eight-week high. This strength in the USD is fueled by positive market sentiment as a March rate cut by the Federal Reserve appears unlikely. The sentiment is based on a promising labor market report released on Friday.

EUR/USD Clings To Recovery Gains Near 1.0750 On Upbeat German Data.

EUR/USD trades in positive territory near 1.0750 in the European session on Tuesday as the USD retreats from the multi-week high it set on Monday.

Introduction

The GBP/USD struggles to capitalize on the previous day's goodish bounce of around 50 pips from the 1.2570 region and oscillates in a narrow band during the early European trading hours on Friday. Spot prices trade near the top end of the weekly range, around the 1.2620 area.

However, the Bank of England (BoE) holds a somewhat similar stance as the Federal Reserve (Fed) in delaying rate cuts so the losses may be limited.

GBP/USD Holds Above 1.2600 As USD Fails To Gather Strength.

GBP/USD continued to fluctuate above 1.2600 on Friday as the US Dollar found it difficult to stay resilient against its major rivals. The data from the US showed that the monthly CPI increase for December was revised lower to 0.2% from 0.3%. GBP/USD declined below 1.2600 on Thursday but managed to stabilize above that level early Friday. In the absence of high-tier data releases, the risk perception could impact the US Dollar's (USD) valuation. The USD benefited from recovering US Treasury bond yields on Thursday and weighed on GBP/USD. Hawkish remarks from Bank of England (BoE) officials and the modest improvement seen in risk mood, however, helped the pair erase its losses.
