4. Institutional View

Dutch International: The euro rebounds but the gains may be limited

DutchThe euro rebounded above a key 1.15 against the dollar, but the gains should remain limited, as the market digests some of the geopolitical risks brought by the exchange rate. Earlier news that Trump will decide within two weeks whether the United States will directly intervene in the Israel-Iran conflict, eases concerns about U.S. action immediately. The situation in the Middle East remains too unstable to make strong directional predictions about the euro-dollar, but the overall risk of the U.S. joining the conflict may prevent the euro-dollar from retesting 1.1600 in the www.avaforexcn.coming days.

Institutions: The UK economy seems to be losing momentum

A growing number of signs are showing that the UK economy is in recession. Paul Dales of Capito Macro wrote in a report that the strong start of the United States by 2025 has ended. Data released on Friday showed that the UK retail sales fell more than expected in May, with the largest decline in retail sales since December 2023. This erased sales growth in the first few months of the year, which contributed to the unexpectedly strong growth in the first quarter. Consumer spending in the UK may still outperform other sectors of the economy this year, with consumer confidence improving, but it looks like GDP in the second quarter is quite weak.
