By Sagar Dua The British pound has ended another tumultuous week against the US dollar, battered by pronounced volatility and a decisive pullback from four-year highs at $1.3789. A convergence of global macro risks—most notably escalating trade wars, deteriorating UK economic data, and the strengthening of the dollar as a preferred safe-haven asset—has driven GBP/USD below critical support levels, intensifying market anxiety.
By Sagar Dua The euro-dollar pair ended last week under renewed pressure, slipping below the 1.1700 mark and retreating further from the July highs near 1.1830.

By Sagar Dua The USD/JPY pair is consolidating its upward trajectory, trading near 146.86 as the market digests the ongoing tariff uncertainty from the US administration. Despite President Donald Trump’s decision to postpone the final tariff negotiation deadline from July 9 to August 1, the probability of a tariff hike from 10.0% to 25.0% on Japanese goods remains the central scenario. This has contributed to the neutral tone in yen trading, as investors await concrete outcomes from Washington-Tokyo negotiations.
By Sagar Dua Forex EUR/USD: The euro is under moderate selling pressure, retreating to the 1.1680 zone during the Asian session as the week winds down.

By Sagar Dua Forex analytics for USD/CHF shows the pair trading in a corrective downtrend near 0.7971, as the Swiss franc continues to strengthen against major global currencies. Despite several attempts by the Swiss National Bank (SNB) to limit the rapid appreciation, the USD/CHF forecast remains bearish due to persistent geopolitical risks and the looming threat of a 31.0% U.S. tariff on Swiss exports—far higher than the potential 20.0% duties imposed on European products. According to leading forex analysts, the central bank’s shift to a neutral policy rate of 0.00% offered only short-term relief, and many now expect the SNB to move rates back into negative territory if the franc remains overvalued.
