EUR/USD Drops Below 1.07?!, GBP Weakens Against the EUR For The Third Consecutive Month, SNB Showing No Sign Of Tightening Monetary Policy

Summary:

• The US Dollar continues to strengthen.
• The SNB shows no intention of tightening their monetary policy to fight inflation.
• GBP weakens amidst a slowing economy.

EURO continues to weaken against the USD.

Since the market opened today, the Euro has weakened by a further 0.15%, this continuing weakening comes as a result of strong U.S interest rates with little indication of the European Central Bank (ECB) attempting to play catch up. This interest rate differential between the United States and the Euro continues to favor the US Dollar. The likelihood of us seeing the EURO strengthen against the US Dollar will probably depend on the future decisions of the Federal Reserve. The market sentiment on this currency pair remains bearish.
