IG's bespoke data
Let's start off with this one. Most traded forex pairs right this moment, the GBP/USD, the EUR/USD as well. The USD/JPY and EUR/JPY are also moving against each other. What’s key of course is we had that US retail sales which barely rose in May and all this providing some sort of hope that the US rate cut might come some time in September.
Of course, political jitters in Europe also offering some support by weakening the euro. Let's also have a look at our next chart, which is also bespoke IG data. Checking in on the chart from our platform on energy. This has to do with oil, natural gas, Brent crude, one of the biggest traded instruments in this sector. Carbon emissions as well. Heating oil. This, of course, all coming amid signs that the stock build in the US was higher than anticipated. And there also, of course, jitters surrounding Ukraine and Russia.
