Trade British Pound / US Dollar (GBPUSD)

EUR/USD rebounded near 1.1330 as Treasury yields fell and traders awaited Eurozone GDP data.

The euro and British pound extended their rallies on Thursday amid mounting concerns over the U.S. fiscal outlook, following Moody’s downgrade of the U.S. credit rating. 

EUR/USD pushed higher toward 1.1330, lifted by a weaker dollar and cautious optimism around U.S. tariff de-escalation.

Risk sentiment shifted this week as Moody’s downgraded the US credit rating, weakening the dollar and supporting major currencies and commodities.

The U.S. dollar gained traction Monday after the U.S. and China agreed to pause retaliatory tariffs for 90 days, prompting a gap lower in EUR/USD to 1.1064. Meanwhile, Moody’s downgraded the U.S. credit rating, citing fiscal concerns, sparking risk aversion and supporting safe-haven assets like gold and the yen. 

The euro advanced near $1.12 as the dollar softened, even as ECB rate cut bets remained firmly priced in. The yen strengthened for a fourth straight day despite a contraction in Japan’s Q1 GDP.

The euro regained ground near 1.1200, supported by reserve status momentum and a weaker dollar, while the Japanese yen strengthened on growing pressure to eliminate U.S. car tariffs.

Soft U.S. inflation data weakened the dollar and lifted risk sentiment. EUR/USD climbed toward 1.1200, supported by falling U.S. CPI, while USD/JPY slipped toward 147 as the yen rebounded. 

Markets opened Tuesday with a cautious tone as traders reviewed the recent US-China trade agreement and awaited key US inflation data.

The U.S. dollar strengthened on Monday following positive signals from U.S.-China trade talks in Geneva, pressuring the euro to near $1.1240 and the pound to $1.3275. The yen weakened to a one-month low past 146 as safe-haven demand faded.
