The post EUR/GBP Price Forecast: Languishes below 0.8550 with bullish attempts subdued appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Euro (EUR) keeps treading water right above one-year lows against the British Pound (GBP) on Thursday. The EUR/GBP is trading flat in the area of 0.8530 at the time of writing, weighed by rising tensions between the US and Iran and the rebound in oil prices. In the Eurozone, German Trade Balance data beat expectations with a EUR 19.1 billion surplus in May, from the 14.5 billion surplus seen in April, as exports grew against expectations. The data, however, has failed to provide any significant support to the Euro. Meanwhile, the US has launched a new round of attacks in Iran, which targeted US bases in Gulf countries in retaliation. US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the ceasefire was over, and Crude prices have bounced up nearly10% with Brent Oil hitting the $80 level on Wednesday, after bottoming near $70.00 last week.

The Japanese Yen (JPY) trades higher against the US Dollar (USD) despite renewed geopolitical risks. The USD/JPY pair is down 0.17% to near 162.35 as the US Dollar faces selling pressure even as the exchange of attacks between the United States (US) and Iran has de-anchored United States (US) inflation expectations again.

The post Euro: Early gains against US Dollar at risk on Fed story – ING appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Chris Turner at ING highlights that EUR/USD has held up despite higher Oil, as Euro swap rates outperformed US rates on expectations of an ECB hike in September. However, he argues the Fed narrative will dominate, with EUR/USD likely to surrender gains and fall below 1.14. ECB minutes and energy prices should keep September hike expectations alive. Resilience questioned as Fed dominates “On the eurozone calendar today is the release of the ECB minutes for the 11 June meeting. We assume this will be pitched as hawkish and, combined with higher energy prices, keep expectations alive for a follow-up hike at the September meeting. That is currently priced at +22bp by money markets.” “EUR/USD has held up remarkably well given the jump in oil prices yesterday. Yield spreads did narrow in favour of the euro, where euro swap rates rose around 7-8bp more than short-dated US rates on the
The post EUR/USD Price Forecast: Euro wavers around 1.1430 with the bearish trend intact appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Euro (EUR) posts moderate gains against the US Dollar (USD) on Thursday, hitting session highs near 1.1440, yet trapped within the weekly range, with the broader bearish trend in play. A softer US Dollar is providing some support to the Euro, but rising geopolitical tensions and the rebound in Oil prices keep weighing on the common currency. Data from Germany released earlier on Thursday revealed that the Trade Balance surplus increased beyond expectations in May, totalling EUR 19.1 billion, from the 14.5 billion surplus seen in April, with exports growing and imports contracting against expectations. The Euro received a minor boost after the data release. The US Dollar, on the other hand, is losing ground, with markets still hopeful that Washington and Tehran will return to the negotiating table, despite the escalating tensions.

The post British Pound extends rally to 218.00 vs JPY as rate gap, politics aid appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The GBP/JPY cross builds on the previous day’s strong positive momentum and gains traction for the second successive day on Thursday. This also marks the fourth day of a move higher in the previous five and lifts spot prices to the 218.00 neighborhood, or the highest since January 2008 during the early part of the European session. With frontrunner Andy Burnham expected to become the next Prime Minister by July 20, fading UK political uncertainty has been bolstering the British Pound’s (GBP) relative outperformance. Furthermore, a broadly weaker US Dollar (USD) benefits the GBP, which, in turn, is seen as a key factor acting as a tailwind for the GBP/JPY cross. The momentum seems rather unaffected by speculations that Japanese authorities will step in to prop up the domestic currency. In fact, Japan’s Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama said last week that officials are re
