GBP/USD TRADES LOWER AROUND 1.3300, RETREATS FROM SEVEN-MONTH HIGHS DUE TO US OPTIMISM

The GBP/USD currency pair has experienced a decline, trading around 1.3300 during Wednesday's Asian session.

This retreat follows a seven-month high of 1.3424 recorded in the previous session.

The pullback is attributed to a shift in investor sentiment favoring the US Dollar, driven by renewed optimism in the US economy. ​

US Dollar Strengthens Amid Optimistic Economic Outlook

Investor appetite has shifted back toward US assets, including the US Dollar, buoyed by a more optimistic tone from US President Donald Trump.

This renewed confidence in the US economy has led to increased demand for the Greenback.

The GBP/USD pair, which reached a seven-month high of 1.3424 in the previous session, has retreated to around 1.3300.

This pullback indicates a temporary shift in market dynamics, with the pair facing resistance at higher levels.

Optimism surrounding a potential US-China trade deal has contributed to a positive risk sentiment, favoring the US Dollar.

This development has led investors to reallocate their portfolios, impacting the GBP/USD exchange rate.

Traders are monitoring key support levels for the GBP/USD pair.

A sustained move below 1.3300 could indicate further downside potential, with the next support levels to watch being 1.3250 and 1.3200. Resistance remains around 1.3400 and 1.3450.
