FOREX: USD Sales Helps Edge EUR/USD, GBP/USD to New Highs

May-19 07:19

Another phase of dollar sales through the European cash equity open helps boost both EUR/USD and GBP/USD through the overnight highs (GBP/USD topping the Friday high, while EUR/USD lags slightly)

  • The Moody's US downgrade remains the primary driver here, which spills over into Treasury yields and equities through the European cash open.
  • JPY not benefiting from the latest move despite holding as the strongest currency in G10: GBP/JPY has bounced well ahead of the intraday support at the Y192.58 200-dma.
  • The overall size of these greenback moves are telling: a net of ~70 pips in EUR/USD on the sovereign downgrade - signalling that the deterioration in US credit worthiness was partially priced in through the recent tax bill headlines and tariff volatility - both of which remain a primary concern as they filter into hard economic data.
