GBPUSD

The British Pound is holding steady above the 1.3450 level, oscillating around 1.3470 during the Asian session as traders await crucial developments in the Middle East and the upcoming US Nonfarm Payrolls report. Downward pressure on the US Dollar, driven by optimism regarding a potential peace deal between the United States and Iran alongside receding expectations for Federal Reserve rate hikes, has provided strong support for the currency pair. At the same time, retreating crude oil prices have helped ease broader inflation worries, though lingering geopolitical tensions, including recent Houthi attacks on oil tankers in the Red Sea, continue to inject caution and limit further losses for the greenback.

At the time of writing, the GBPUSD was trading at 1.3458/1.3459.

EURUSD

The EUR/USD currency pair maintained a firm stance around the 1.1555 level during the Asian trading session as the US Dollar continued to face downward pressure driven by mounting labor market concerns. This weakness in the Greenback was further compounded by the latest ADP report showing that the US private sector added only 44,000 jobs in July, which fell significantly short of the anticipated 70,000 figure and followed a prior reading of 98,000. As market participants await upcoming key catalysts including Eurozone Retail Sales data and the highly anticipated US Nonfarm Payrolls report, technical indicators suggest a constructive bias for the euro pair. Specifically, the exchange rate holds above its key exponential moving average and the Relative Strength Index stays firmly in bullish territory, signaling that the currency pair may be poised to extend its ongoing advance toward the 1.1600 resistance threshold.

At the time of writing, the EURUSD was trading at 1.1547/1.1548.

USDJPY

The USD/JPY pair slid toward the 157.65 level during early Asian trading after a coordinated currency intervention by Washington and Tokyo to strengthen the Japanese Yen and protect broader Asian markets from excessive volatility. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Japanese Finance Ministry officials both emphasized readiness for further actions, while President Donald Trump praised the move as a diplomatic signal of friendship. Market attention now shifts toward upcoming US economic data, including initial jobless claims and the vital July jobs report, alongside rising expectations that stronger domestic wage growth could prompt the Bank of Japan to raise interest rates further at its upcoming meeting.

At the time of writing, the USDJPY was trading at 157.73/157.74.
