GBP/USD ticks higher on Monday amid the emergence of some US Dollar selling.  Expectations that the Fed might stick to its hawkish stance should limit USD losses. Bets that the BoE will cut rates in February might contribute to capping the pair.  The GBP/USD pair kicks off the new week on a slightly positive note and reverses a part of Friday’s decline, though the uptick lacks follow-through or bullish conviction.

Buckle up, forex fiends – we’ve got quite a week ahead of us! All eyes are on two potential big market movers: Trump’s inauguration ceremony and what could be a game-changing Bank of Japan meeting.

U.S. officials had warned that under Chinese parent company ByteDance, there was a risk of Americans’ data being misused.…

Check out our review on the U.K. CPI discussions to see what happened! Watchlists are price outlook…

By Nidal al-Mughrabi and Mohammad Salem CAIRO/GAZA (Reuters) – Thousands of Palestinians burst into the streets across Gaza as a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas began on Sunday, some in celebration, others to visit the graves of relatives, while many rushed back to their homes. “I feel like at last I found some water to drink after getting lost in the desert for 15 months. I feel alive again,” Aya, a displaced woman from Gaza City, who has been sheltering in Deir Al-Balah in central Gaza Strip for over a year, told Reuters via a chat app. Armed Hamas fighters…
