The British pound has been weaker recently compared to the US dollar, but it could go stronger if the US economy reports poor results or if tariffs on Canada and Mexico are postponed. The Pound, on the other hand, held onto its optimistic perspective as it continued its upward trend and did well against the Euro. Nonetheless, the decisions made by the European Central Bank and tariff worries may have an impact on the movements of the pound in the days ahead.
Due to President Trump’s ongoing tariffs on Canada and Mexico, which may devalue the euro if they were applied to the EU, the euro has been exposed to tariff threats. However, the bloc’s single currency might benefit from any postponement or easing of these taxes. Furthermore, the Euro’s performance may be impacted by the European Central Bank’s future interest rate decisions due to its stance on inflation and economic assistance.
Future tariff choices, especially those pertaining to China, Canada, and Mexico, pose hazards to the value of the US dollar. The imposition of tariffs by President Trump may put pressure on currencies such as the euro. The dollar might depreciate, though, if the tariffs are loosened or postponed. In the end, the strength of the dollar will be largely determined by the mood of the world markets and the next releases of economic data.
