The British pound experienced a decline during the European trading session. The dollar’s robust performance managed to contain the pound’s losses. The market remains uncertain ahead of Middle East peace talks and the Federal Reserve’s leadership meeting.
By 15:50 GMT, the pound’s value had been influenced by a statement from Rishi Sunak’s parliamentary speech. Market analysts predict that the likelihood of Chancellor Keir Starmer resigning before July is only at 39%. The pound appears to be limited in its response to acute political risk. EUR/GBP is expected to find support in the 0.8685-0.8700 range.
Meanwhile, US inventory sales and the ADP weekly employment report will be released. Surprisingly weak data could add further negative impact on the dollar.
