GBP/USD Weekly downtrend opportunity based on 1.00 Lot Calculation:
- EVENT: Wednesday, July 28, 07:30 PM GMT+1 – U.S. Federal Reserve Press Conference after the regular monetary policy meeting. Inflation is transitory according to some Fed officials, but also “uncomfortably high”. The interpretation of the economic data by the Fed is important so a major focus of investors will be on the Fed’s view, forward guidance, as well as the wording of economic outlook going forward.
- The UK's chief negotiator, David Frost, said that his country wants to renegotiate the Northern Irish protocol with the EU, while Brussels rejected any attempt to change the terms of the agreement. New Covid-19 cases are on the rise in the UK (between 40,000 - 50,000 a day), and hundreds of thousands of citizens are being asked to self-isolate for 10 days.
