GBP: Despite a lack of significant data, the Pound struggled against the US Dollar (GBP/USD) on Tuesday, trading lower at $1.2543. Investors appeared cautious ahead of the Bank of England’s interest rate decision. Speculation looms over potential rate cuts, with markets eyeing Thursday’s forward guidance. Any dovish signals could prompt a shift in market bets, undermining the Pound’s strength. Friday’s preliminary GDP data could offer further insight into the Pound’s trajectory.

USD: The US Dollar found support amidst market uncertainty, benefiting from its safe-haven status. Federal Reserve commentary by Neel Kashkari and domestic jobless claims data on Thursday could sway Dollar exchange rates. However, a predicted dip in Michigan’s consumer sentiment may weaken the Dollar by week’s end. While the Dollar is currently performing well, its ascent is being closely watched for sustained strength.

EUR: The Euro, buoyed by improved market sentiment, faces challenges amid differing monetary policy outlooks. Expectations of ECB rate cuts contrast with uncertainty surrounding the Fed’s stance. Despite French industrial production setbacks, the Euro held gains against the Dollar. However, resistance levels could hinder further gains unless the Dollar weakens substantially. The Euro’s rally is approaching resistance points, suggesting a potential short-term plateau.
