 EUR/USD – Daily Analysis

The EUR/US is trading with a bullish bias below 1.1366 level. The price action of the EUR/USD pair remained flat throughout the Asian session. The President of the ECB (European Central Bank), Christine Lagarde, said that the central bank’s measure to fight the coronavirus crisis was proportionate to the severe risks facing its mandate. Lagarde said during a hearing at the Committee on economic and monetary affairs of the European Parliament, which was conducted via video conference that the crisis-related measures were temporary, targeted, and proportionate.

Besides, the ECB announced an additional 600 billion euros in its pandemic emergency purchase program (PEPP) and scaled up its previous 750 billion Euro, to extend the program till mid-2021. According to Lagarde, ECB continuously monitors the proportionality of its instruments, and she said that the net effects to be gained by PEPP expansion were overwhelmingly positive. The need for expansion was to avoid any deeper recession and quickening the pathway towards normalization.

When asked about the German court ruling of the ECB’s massive public sector purchase program, she said she was confident that a solution could be found because it was addressed to the German federal government and the German Parliament. On the data front, at 11:00 GMT, the German Industrial Production showed a decline of 17.9% in April against the expectations of 16% and weighed on shared currency euro. AT 13:30 GMT, the Sentix Investor Confidence from the Eurozone for June decline to 24.8 from the expected reduction of 22.0 and weighed on Euro.

The depressed Euro after inferior to expected German Industrial Production dragged the pair EUR/USD with itself to the low of 1.12680.

Meanwhile, Lagarde’s Speech explaining the benefits of ECB’s latest expansion in PEPP provided strength to Euro, which pushed the EUR/USD pair higher. For now, the eyes will remain on the U.S. CPI and FOMC data while the FED isn’t expected to change its policy rate, but the CPI can be a main driver in the market.

GBP/USD – Daily Analysis

The GBP/USD continues to extend its 8-day winning streak and soars to 1.2766, the highest since March 12, 2020, mainly due to the broad-based U.S. dollar strength triggered by the geopolitical tensions between the Korean neighbors. Currently, the GBP/USD is holding at 1.2769 and consolidates in a new trading range of 1.2702 – 1.2815. However, the Brexit concerns remain on the card while showing no progress, which ultimately exerted some downside pressure on the British Pound and contributed to the currency pair declines.

It should be noted that the British retailers reported a sharp drop in annual sales last month, but less bad than April due to some COVID-19 restrictions eased, and more customers started online shopping.

At the data front, the British retail consortium May total sales -5.9% YoY vs. April -19.1% pct YoY, second-biggest fall since records began in 1995. The British retail consortium May like-for-like sales +7.9% YoY vs. April +5.7% YoY, excluding temporarily closed stores and including online sales. In the meantime, the Barclaycard U.K. may consider consumer spending -26.7% YoY vs. April -36.5% YoY.

However, the reason for limiting further losses in the currency pair could be attributed to the report that the United Kingdom and Japan are set to discuss the post-Brexit trade deal on the day which could underpin the cable pair.

At the USD front, the broad-based U.S. dollar recovered its previous session losses and drawing bids at press time as investors awaiting the next moves from the U.S. Federal Reserve ahead of its policy meeting. The U.S. dollar gains were further bolstered by the risk-off market sentiment triggered by the growth in geopolitical stresses between the Korean neighbors. However, the U.S. dollar’s bullish bias turned out to be one of the key factors that kept a lid on profits in the GBP/USD currency pair. Whereas, the U.S. Dollar Index that tracks the greenback against a basket of other currencies increased by 0.10% to 96.707 by 12:53 AM ET (5:53 AM GMT).

The U.S. 10-year Treasury yields fell 4-basis points (bps) to 0.844% while the stocks in Asia and the U.S. stock futures reported modest losses. The lack of significant data/events will urge the Cable traders to look for further details on risk catalysts for a fresh impetus. The UK-Japan trade talks and the US-China tension could offer hints and can help the greenback to gains further bullish traction.
