Week Ahead July 8th – 12th
EURUSD pair closed last week’s trading session higher on disappointing US economic releases. US ISM manufacturing and ADP employment triggered a selloff in the pair, as investors and traders, are bracing for an interest rate cut in September. European investors are also bracing for this weekend’s French election results. The rise of Eurosceptic parties in Europe and the failure of France to form a majority parliament will weight negative on Euro with the possibility of downside market gap on Monday’s market opening.
As for this week, traders and investors will mainly focus on the French politics and what the new government formation will be. From the US the biggest catalyst will be the CPI number due to be released on Thursday. FED’s Powell will continue to testifies during next week giving the chance to investors and traders to gather more insides on what the FED’s future policy will be.

GBPUSD pair closed last week’s trading session higher on UK’s election results. Results were online with expectations and that gave to GBP a relief helping the pair to trade higher. The deteriorated US economic indicators and continuing selloff in US Dollar ahead of September’s interest rate cut expectations was another reason behind last week’s positive trading session.
