The only thing investors are worried about right now is the extent of the European Central Bank and Federal Reserve's rate hikes. That was the reason for the noticeable growth of the euro, which, due to its scale, pulled up other currencies as well—firstly, the pound. The reason for this was the words of ECB Vice President Luis de Guindos, who almost directly stated that the refinancing rate will be raised again by 75 basis points at the next board meeting. The reason for such aggressive actions of the European Central Bank is the growing inflation.
Most likely, the dollar will continue to lose its positions today. The reason for this will be inflation. According to forecasts, US inflation should slow down from 8.5% to 8.1%. That is, inflation is slowing down for the second month in a row, which gives the Fed a reason to reduce the rate of interest rate growth. So there may be a situation where interest rates are rising quite strongly in Europe but much slower in the United States, if the American regulator does not stop this process at all. Just a few months ago, the situation was diametrically opposite, and it was the Fed that was actively raising the rate, and the ECB was only considering the possibility of tightening monetary policy. And this led to a serious rise in the dollar. Now it is quite possible to talk about a U-turn.
Inflation (United States):
The EURUSD currency pair locally jumped to 1.0200 during an intense upward movement. This move resulted in overheating of long positions in the short term, resulting in a technical pullback in the market. A stable holding of the price above 1.0150 allows the subsequent growth of the euro with a breakout of 1.0200.
The GBPUSD currency pair has a similar dynamics, where the quote has firmly fixed above the level of 1.1650. With the upward mood on the market, a subsequent increase in the value of the pound sterling in the direction of 1.1800 is not excluded, where stagnation/pullback is already possible.
