GBPUSD - Intraday - We look to Sell at 1.1930 (stop at 1.1995) Buying pressure from 1.1760 resulted in prices rejecting the dip. The bias is still for lower levels and we look for any gains to be limited. This is negative for sentiment and the downtrend has potential to return. We therefore, prefer to fade into the rally with a tight stop in anticipation of a...
The Japanese yen has been pummeled today by the US dollar. USD/JPY is currently trading at 139.22, up 1.29% on the day. The US dollar is showing broad strength today, and for the yen that has meant a new 20-year low, as USD/JPY touched 139.39 earlier in the day. The symbolic 140.00 line is within striking distance, and it would certainly be memorable if the yen...

The British pound has taken investors for a ride today, as GBP/USD dropped sharply but has since recovered. In the North American session, GBP/USD is trading at 1.1856, down 0.28%. It has been a busy day on the economic calendar, with a host of UK releases and the US inflation report. In the US, the long-sought-after inflation peak remains as elusive as ever. The...

For those following the euro's close encounters with parity, the currency played a game of tease earlier today. In the European session, EUR/USD dropped to parity with the US dollar, a line of psychological importance. However, the euro would not budge any lower, and is currently at 1.0068 in the North American session, up 0.28% today. I would not be surprised if...

It is looking like July 2022 could be a memorable month for the euro, but unfortunately not for the right reasons. EUR/USD is within a whisker of dropping below parity with the US dollar for the first time since 2002 and the risk of a break below parity below in the coming days remains high. In the North American session, EUR/USD is trading at 1.008, down...

The euro has since recovered most of today's losses, but the psychologically-important parity line is getting closer by the day, as the euro continues to stumble. On the economic front, US...
