Short-term gains have been reported for the British pound, and a modest higher trend against a basket of currencies is anticipated. However, its movement may be influenced by forthcoming economic reports and remarks by BoE officials. The Pound is facing difficulties due to worries over the UK’s economic expansion and growing inflation. Although there is yet room for more increases, the situation is uncertain due to the economy’s stagnation and inflationary pressures.
As worries about inflation and economic growth continue, the Euro is under pressure. The Euro is struggling versus the Pound, and there is a chance that the exchange rate may drift sideways despite some recent improvement. Even while there is some room for improvement, the Euro’s upside is constrained by persistent economic difficulties. In the end, market sentiment is still cautious, which means that the Euro’s short-term future is uncertain.
After recovering losses from the previous week, the U.S. dollar gained strength as markets reacted to President Trump’s announcement of tariffs on imports of steel and aluminium. The tariffs strengthened the dollar by reigniting fears of a world trade war. Analysts also cautioned that inflation brought on by tariffs would prolong the high interest rates in the United States.
