The Euro, British Pound, Japanese Yen, and Gold are all experiencing varying levels of pressure influenced by U.S. economic data and central bank policies. The Euro remains cautious with a bearish outlook due to potential ECB rate cuts, while the British Pound hovers around support levels, affected by strong retail sales but weak consumer confidence. The Yen faces downward pressure from a strengthening dollar and expectations of U.S. rate cuts. Gold, while bullish, is testing support levels, with traders eyeing U.S. labor market data to gauge the Fed’s next moves.
