February 3rd - According to foreign media reports, the European Union will propose a partnership with the United States to establish key mineral resources. Sources familiar with the matter revealed that the EU is prepared to sign a memorandum of understanding with the US within three months, outlining a "strategic partnership roadmap" aimed at jointly exploring supply channels for key minerals. The memorandum of understanding recommends that the EU and the US explore joint key mineral projects and study price support mechanisms, while also suggesting measures to prevent external mineral oversupply and other forms of market shocks. The EU memorandum of understanding mentions the possibility of establishing key mineral reserves, which is also a key focus for Trump. The proposal also points out that both sides should establish secure supply chain systems between them. Notably, the EU proposal also emphasizes that both sides should respect each others territorial integrity.

The nomination appears to have eased market concerns about a potential threat to the Feds independence and prompted a partial reversal of the political risk premium previously priced into the dollar.

With traders awaiting UK Retail Sales and US PMI, GBP/USD is meeting resistance at 1.2000

The British pound has been under selling pressure against the US dollar throughout the Asian trading session as the pair attempts to break through the crucial 1.2000 barrier. The cable had previously seen a vertical up trend after buyers indicated interest from Thursday's low of 1.1890. The asset is expecting a correction, but this does not necessitate a bearish reversal.

 

The US dollar index (DXY) has experienced strong buying demand in the first hour of trading as investors bet on a rate hike by the Federal Reserve (Fed) next week. Given the recent drop in US long-term inflation projections, the probability of a 100 bps rate hike has unquestionably increased. However, the current pricing pressures must be handled quickly lest they have a catastrophic impact. That's why the Fed may do nothing or declare a rate hike of 75 basis points.

 

The US S&P PMI data will be the focus of investors for the whole of today's session. In this update, the Global Composite data stands at 51.7, down from 52.3 in the last release. It's possible that the Manufacturing PMI may fall from 52.7 to 52. There is hope that the Services PMI would rise to 52.6 from 52.7. This will keep the DXY in a weak position.

 

With regards to the pound, all eyes will be on the latest Retail Sales report. The economy is -5.3 percent more vulnerable than it was in the last report, which was -4.7 percent, according to a preliminary evaluation. Sales at stores have been on the rise even before the recent spike in energy costs. Due to out-of-control inflation, the forecast for retail sales should have been raised. A smaller consensus, on the other hand, indicates that demand is poor across the board and that prices will not rise over their prior level regardless of pricing pressures.
