GBP/USD – Daily Analysis

The GBP/USD was closed at 1.25514 after placing a high of 1.25758 and a low of 1.24782. Overall the movement of GBP/USD remained bullish throughout the day. The GBP/USD pair continued its bullish track and rose for the 4th consecutive day on Tuesday and crossed a level of 1.25700 on the back of broad-based U.S. dollar weakness. Another factor in the upward rally of GBP/USD, along with the U.S. dollar weakness, was Pound’s strength due to renewed optimism in Brexit developments.

According to Brussels sources reported in The Times, U.K. was expected to signal compromises on fisheries and some trade rules if the E.U. agreed to back down from its demand for regulatory alignment and fishing access.

After this statement came into the market, the demand for British Pound increased, which raised the bars for GBP/USD pair across the board. However, the rally was on its way to posting remarkable gains but was dragged down after U.K.’s Prime Minister dismissed the report for compromising on key sticking points that have paused the progress in the post-Brexit deal.

The U.K. rather expressed its desire to take control over access to its waters and fish after the transition period ends. U.K. showed disagreement to stick with the E.U.’s Common Fisheries Policy in which fishing quotas for E.U. member states are fixed.

The official spokesman of Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that the reports suggesting that the U.K. was ready to compromise on fishing and its waters were only “wishful thinking by E.U.” The remarks added to the growing concerns over the lack of progress on negotiations. The final round of detailed negotiations took effect from today, and results will be under close observation by British Pound traders. It should be noted that if both parties failed to secure a deal or agree on a point, it would demand an extension in the transition period. But Johnson has promised not to extend this period, which will lead to no-deal Brexit.

Boris Johnson has suggested the country would accept a no-deal Brexit if London and Brussels failed to agree on new trade rules by December 31.

On the economic data front, at 11; 00 GMT, the Nationwide HPI dropped to -1.7% against the expected drop by-1.0%.

A sharp fall in U.K. Mortgage approvals in April and House price suffering kept a lid on additional gains of GBP/USD.

The protests were against the killing of an unarmed black man George Floyd in police custody two weeks ago. Other than that, China halted the purchases of U.S. Soybeans and pork on Tuesday against U.S. decision to revoke the special status of Hong Kong, which increased the ongoing tensions between the world’s two largest economies.
