w/c 30th June: Broad Confidence
GBP
The British Pound is trending higher against the U.S. Dollar, supported by broad weakness in the Dollar itself. However, technical indicators now point to overbought conditions, suggesting a short-term pause or pullback may be needed. While the overall outlook remains constructive, the Pound could ease slightly before resuming its upward momentum, as it consolidates recent gains driven by shifts in global currency sentiment.
EUR
The Euro has shown strength in recent weeks, benefiting from fading U.S. Dollar dominance and renewed investor demand. Its rebound reflects broad confidence in Eurozone assets, helped by firmer inflation data from major economies and reduced expectations for rate cuts. While geopolitical tensions and trade risks remain, the Euro continues to act as a preferred alternative to the Dollar, underpinning its resilience across global currency markets.
USD
The U.S. Dollar remains under broad pressure, hovering near multi-year lows amid expectations for lower interest rates and easing geopolitical tensions. Improved trade prospects with major partners and speculation over a more dovish Federal Reserve leadership are fuelling further downside risks. While upcoming inflation and labour data may influence sentiment, overall momentum suggests continued softness as markets reassess America’s economic and policy outlook.
