GBP/USD continues to backtrack as Dollar gains on Trump comments

Earlier this afternoon the US President formally seemed to reject any notion of a proposed 10 day ceasefire from the Iranian side and that has helped a further flight into the US currency. The Pound was struggling anyway and the EUR/USD is edging back towards the 1.14 handle again. The USD/JPY has not reached 162.80 and hence very close to the current 2026 high, at 162.84.

The Pound is faring the worst of all those currencies though and that has been partly driven by a further rebound in the EUR/GBP, which has now traded above 0.8525 and close to 0.8530. Hence, the GBP/USD just now hit a session low at 1.3384- quite a far cry from the 1.3456 high seen after the UK data earlier this morning. The GBP/USD is right now at 1.3391
