BoE poised to lower rates, Pound steady
The BoE is widely expected to lower rates today by a quarter-point to 4.0%. This would be the first rate cut since February. The BoE is caught between a deteriorating economy and rising inflation and that could be reflected in a split MPC vote.

EUR/GBP Technical: Bullish impulsive upleg intact (EUR outperformance over GBP) as BoE looms
The Bank of England is expected to cut interest rates by 25 bps to 4%, its lowest in over two years, amid persistent inflation concerns. UK core inflation rose to 3.7% y/y in June, well above the 2% target. Ahead of the BoE decision, EUR/GBP appears poised for a potential bullish breakout, supported by firm technical momentum and narrowing in the discount of German-UK bond yield spreads, with key resistances at 0.8740 and 0.8800, followed by 0.8860 next.

EUR/USD Technical: Poised for a minor bullish breakout in euro strength
The euro staged a sharp rebound against the US dollar on 1 August, gaining 1.5% after weaker-than-expected US jobs data halted a week-long decline. Since 4 August, EUR/USD has traded in a narrow range, as markets digest rising stagflation risks and await President Trump’s Fed nomination. Technical indicators suggest a potential bullish breakout, with support at 1.1520 and resistance at 1.1600 and 1.1680/1705.

BoJ minutes indicate more rate hikes coming, yen dips

Swiss inflation unchanged, Swiss franc extends gains
Swiss inflation was unchanged in July, down from 0.2% a month earlier. If inflation continues to drop, the SNB could push interest rates into negative territory. US nonfarm payrolls came in at 73 thousand, lower than expected, and the May and June reports were revised sharply lower. This points to widening cracks in the US labour market.

As well, the May and June figures were revised sharply downwards. The BoJ releases the minutes of its June meeting on Tuesday.
