GBP/USD Drifts Lower Near 1.2925

The Pound Sterling (GBP) is softening against the US Dollar (USD), hovering around 1.2925 in the early European session on Friday. This drift lower follows a modest improvement in global risk sentiment, which has slightly eroded GBP’s appeal as a safe-haven currency. Posts on X highlight this pullback, with traders watching closely to see if this signals a broader correction after recent resilience.

AUD/USD Defends Bids Below 0.6300

The Australian Dollar (AUD) is staging a defense below the 0.6300 level during Friday’s Asian session, bolstered by a brighter risk appetite and a USD lift from US-Canada trade optimism. After shedding losses from three consecutive days, AUD/USD’s recovery remains tempered by ongoing US tariff uncertainties, keeping the risk-sensitive Aussie in a cautious stance.

USD/JPY Builds on Rebound Ahead of CPI Fallout

The US Dollar against the Japanese Yen (USD/JPY) is extending its recovery, climbing from a five-month low of 146.52 to a weekly high of 148.59. Friday’s positive start builds on the aftermath of Wednesday’s US CPI data (headline 0.25%, core 0.27% for February), which hinted at cooling inflation. This rebound suggests shifting momentum, though tariff-related headwinds could still cap gains.

US Dollar Index Tests Support at 103.50

The US Dollar Index (DXY) is finding stability around 103.60 in Asian hours, testing key support near 103.50 after Thursday’s uptick. Following a slide to multi-month lows earlier this week, the Greenback is steadying as markets digest a 95% probability of no Fed rate change on March 19, per the CME FedWatch tool. Yet, tariff-driven slowdown fears keep the DXY on shaky ground.

Broader Market Context

On March 14, 2025, markets are balancing a fragile US Dollar recovery against lingering economic uncertainties. The GBP/USD’s retreat contrasts with AUD/USD’s tentative rebound, while USD/JPY capitalizes on post-CPI momentum. The DXY’s test of support underscores a market grappling with mixed signals—cooling US inflation offers some relief, but Trump’s tariff policies continue to cloud the outlook. With risk sentiment ticking up, traders are poised for further volatility as the week closes.
