Additionally, China has announced its first reduction in the benchmark lending rate in 10 months, a move that could provide support for oil prices.

Last night, the U.S. Secretary of State met with the Chinese President and expressed satisfaction with the accomplishments of their trip. This positive development in bilateral relations has the potential to bolster both countries’ equity markets. In contrast, the Governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has emphasised the need to raise interest rates due to encouraging economic indicators, including the labour market and housing prices. According to Goldman Sachs, the RBA’s rate is expected to reach 4.85% from its current level of 4.1%, which could strengthen the Australian dollar. Additionally, China has announced its first reduction in the benchmark lending rate in 10 months, a move that could provide support for oil prices.

INDICE_DOLLAR, H4

The US Dollar experienced a marginal uptick in trading activity, albeit in thin volumes due to the influence of holiday-induced market conditions. Investors engaged in a comprehensive assessment of the ramifications of the previous week’s central bank determinations, which kept the overall movement of the US Dollar relatively constrained. With the US markets shuttered in observance of the Juneteenth holiday, market participants should closely monitor forthcoming economic data from the United States to identify potential trading signals.

Resistance level: 102.75, 103.35

Niveau de support : 102.00, 100.80

Support level: 0.6585, 0.6415

GBP/USD, Daily

Pound Sterling maintained its upward trajectory, nearing a remarkable 14-month pinnacle against major currencies. The currency’s bullish sentiment was fueled by the mounting optimism of investors, who embraced the hawkish stance projected by the Bank of England in the wake of recent monetary decisions made by prominent central banks. This divergence in policies between the Bank of England and the Federal Reserve further widened the yield-spread between the US and the UK, intensifying the appeal of the Pound Sterling among global investors.

Investors must exercise caution, continually monitoring economic conditions for potential trading signals
