The post British Pound Sterling stages a jailbreak while Westminster arranges a coronation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Cable adds roughly a tenth of a percent on Thursday, changing hands a whisker above 1.3400 and poking through the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) for the first time since mid-June. The setting makes the move notable: the United States traded overnight strikes with Iran for a second consecutive day, Crude Oil carries a war premium, and Federal Reserve (Fed) speakers spent the session sounding hawkish. None of it bought the Dollar anything against the Pound. Washington supplies hawks and airstrikes, and the Dollar shrugs Thursday’s American docket gave Dollar bulls usable material, starting with Initial Jobless Claims printing 215K at 12:30 GMT against a 218K consensus and a 217K prior. A voting Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) member delivered remarks rated firmly hawkish at 13:00 GMT, another policymaker speaks at 17:30 GMT, and Existing Home Sale

On Thursday, the Bruins signed Nikola Kusturica, a 6-foot-9 guard from Serbia and the best international prospect Cronin has landed since arriving at UCLA in 2019.

The post Australian Dollar firms as US Dollar softens appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. AUD/USD trades higher near the 0.6940 area on Thursday, as the Australian Dollar (AUD) benefits from a softer US Dollar (USD), even after stronger-than-expected United States (US) jobless claims data showed that the labor market remains stable. US Initial Jobless Claims fell to 215K, below expectations of 218K and the previous 217K, suggesting that layoffs remain limited. However, the Greenback failed to gain strong traction as the broader US Dollar Index (DXY) slipped for a second straight session, while markets continued to assess geopolitical risks and the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) policy outlook. China also remains a key driver for the Aussie, given Australia’s strong trade exposure. China’s Producer Price Index (CPI) report, released late Wednesday, showed a 4.1% YoY rise in June, the fastest pace in four years, while China’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) slowed to 1% YoY, highlighting stronger f

The K-pop group stepped away from the spotlight so all seven members could fulfill their mandatory military enlistment – required of all men by a certain age in South Korea – and while waiting for their colleagues to do the same, each singer released music on their own. Arirang became a global blockbuster the moment it dropped, and lead single “Swim” was another major win for the Gram

The post Japanese Yen rises as US jobless claims fail to support US Dollar appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/JPY trades lower near the 162.30 area on Thursday, retreating from recent highs as the Japanese Yen (JPY) recovers some ground. The US Dollar (USD) fails to receive support from stronger-than-expected United States (US) labor market data. US Initial Jobless Claims fell to 215K, below expectations of 218K and the previous 217K, while the four-week average eased to 218.75K from 222.5K. The data suggests that layoffs remain limited, helping the Greenback avoid deeper losses. However, Continuing Jobless Claims rose slightly to 1.814 million from 1.806 million, showing that workers are taking longer to find new jobs.

The post US Dollar: Tariff passthrough keeps inflation pressure alive – BNY appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BNY’s Geoff Yu reports that the New York Fed’s latest Liberty Street Economics analysis warns many United States (US) firms still plan tariff-related price increases, implying persistent inflation pressures that matter for the US Dollar (USD) and Federal Reserve (Fed) policy. Nearly half of tariff-paying companies expect further hikes, with gradual pricing and fixed contracts extending adjustment and complicating disinflation. Tariffs extend U.S. inflation timeline “The New York Fed said in its July 8 Liberty Street Economics post that more tariff passthrough still lies ahead for many U.S. firms.

AUD/USD trades around 0.6940 on Thursday at the time of writing, up 0.16% on the day, as the weaker US Dollar (USD) supports the pair despite persistent tensions in the Middle East.

The US Dollar remains under pressure on Thursday, with the US Dollar Index (DXY) down 0.11% near 100.95 at the time of press. The Greenback struggles to benefit from stronger-than-expected US economic data, as the US Department of Labor reported that Initial Jobless Claims fell to 215K in the week ending July 4, down from 217K previously, while Continuing Jobless Claims edged up slightly to 1.814M.
