Pound Sterling loses 1.2700 level against US Dollar after Trump defends USD dominance
The Pound Sterling falls on Monday against the US Dollar after Donald Trump threatened BRICS with 100% tariffs, supporting the Greenback.
Trump said he would impose tariffs if the trading group tried to replace the US Dollar with their own reserve currency.
Technically, GBP/USD remains in an uptrend, within which it is undergoing a correction.
The Pound Sterling (GBP) pulls back below the 1.2700 mark on Monday after more invective from President-elect Donald Trump bolsters the US Dollar (USD).
In a post on social media, Trump railed against the BRICS trading bloc’s plans to replace the US Dollar with their own currency. If the emerging-market trading bloc goes ahead, warned Trump, he would hit them with 100% tariffs.
The GBP/USD pair bounces briefly, however, following the release of UK house price data that showed dwellings’ prices rose more than expected in November, as this provided support to the Pound Sterling.
