I am more than willing to short the GBP/USD, although I will say that I believe the British pound is second best right now if I had to rank currency, so I’m not looking for the British pound to fall apart. What I’m looking forward to is the US dollar to be stronger. Interest rates in the United States declined during the trading session following a Washington Post report suggesting that Donald Trump intended to impose tariffs broadly. This prompted a surge in bond market activity, but sentiment quickly reversed when Trump publicly denied the claims, stating, “I have no plans of doing this.” The situation remains fluid, and its ultimate impact is yet to be determined. Either way, the British pound is a little oversold. I wouldn’t be surprised to see another day or two of strength, but I’m willing to fade that. Keep in mind, Friday is non-farm payroll in the United States. So that obviously will have a major influence on what happens going forward. This Week
