The British pound went down versus the euro and dollar as a result of speculations among investors that the Bank of England will try to bolster the economy by restarting its debt-buying program. The GBP/USD forex trading pair’s main trend is bullish and faces a resistance level at around 1.6000. If the trading rate breaches this level, the GBP/USD will continue with its positive momentum. CPI is anticipated at 3.1%, while the Trade Balance is anticipated to go down from -8.70B to -8.0B. The GBP/USD traded between 1.5867 and 1.5963.
The euro also declined versus the dollar, and this decline can probably be attributed to a correction on the forex pair since technical indicators displayed an 8-month high for this pair last week. In this forex trading pair, the EUR remains bullish, although the pair fluctuated around the 1.3900 level. The EUR/USD pair exchanged between 1.3866 and 1.3999.
