EUR/USD – German Business Climate Improves   

During the previous week, EUR/USD closed at $1.09411 after placing a high of $1.09586. Overall, this pair showed a bearish trend last week.

EUR/USD placed a new two-year low of $1.09038 at the end of last week. The pair continued to drop due to the strength of the US Dollar. Also, the US Dollar was out of control last week due to High U.S. Treasury Yields and the auspicious headline from US-China trade talks. That pushed the EUR/USD to a 2-year fresh low.

At the beginning of last week, weak European Economic data related to French & German Manufacturing & Services PMI also created a selling sentiment in the market for EUR/USD. The possibility of Germany falling into recession is also making it hard for EUR/USD to pull its prices upward. Later, there was a lack of Economic releases from Europe for the rest of the week and made the movement of pair dependent on Strong U.S. Dollar.

At the end of last week, the resignation of Sabine Lautenschlaeger from the executive board of European Central Bank in an act of protest against the decision of reviving quantitative easing and loose monetary policy by ECB's President Mario Draghi, caused further downward movement in EUR/USD.

GBP/USD - CBI Realized Sales Ahead 

On Thursday, GBP/USD opened at 1.23504 and is currently moving at 1.23243 after placing a high of 1.23800 and low of 1.23029.

GBP/USD showed mixed movement today as it has been moving in up and down throughout the day. On Wednesday, the pair dropped sharply due to U.S. Dollar strength.

However, on Thursday the GBP/USD toned-down its losses due to the votes given by M.P.s against granting a mini-recess for Conservative Party Conference. However, the economic reports issued by the U.S. showing results as expected made it difficult for GBP/USD to create an upward trend.

The release of whistleblower allegation on President Trump on Thursday also made U.S. Dollar weak and moved from GBP/USD up a little.

The downward movement of GBP/USD was mainly due to the rise of political anxiety in the U.K. Parliament. The resisting calls for the resignation of U.K.'s President, Boris Johnson, gave the potential for early general elections and put pressure on Sterling. The Pound is likely to remain under pressure until there are hopes for political certainty. 

On Friday, the U.K. consumer Confidence index is due to release, in case of failure to impress the market, we may see Sterling trading further bearish.

Under the ongoing Brexit uncertainty, the GBP/USD will remain biased to the downside. Even if the Consumer Confidence came positive, any political development could easily overshadow its effect due to the sensitivity of Sterling towards the events of Parliament.

However, on the other hand, on 17;30 GMT the U.S. Final GDP, came as expected 2.0% along with GDP Price index as 2.4%. The U.S. Goods Trade Balance -72.8B came higher than expected -73.3B. U.S. Unemployment Claims 213K also came slightly more than expected 210K. The only data which was not in favor of USD was the preliminary Wholesale Inventories which came as 0.4% as compared to 0.1%. At 19:00 GMT, the U.S. Pending Home Sales came as 1.6% was in favor of U.S. Dollar. Investors almost ignored the U.S. data released on Thursday because all came as expected. 

The pair is showing signs of further downward trend because of persistent lack of development towards a Brexit deal settlement between E.U. & U.K. with a little over month time left for its Deadline.
