The euro, pound, and other risk assets, including the Japanese yen, continued their rapid decline against the US dollar, and there were objective reasons for this.

In addition to yesterday's uninformative Federal Reserve meeting minutes, which revealed nothing new, demand for the dollar increased following news that the US Court of International Trade had overturned Trump's global reciprocal tariffs and ordered the administration to cease their enforcement. Traders interpreted this as a signal of reduced trade tensions and a return to a more predictable economic policy. The repeal of the tariffs introduced under the "America First" strategy is seen by many as a positive step toward restoring global trade and sustaining positive growth momentum in the US economy.

The court's decision came after prolonged legal disputes and protests from the business sector, which argued that the tariffs harmed consumers and undermined the competitiveness of American companies. The removal of the tariffs is expected to lower prices on imported goods and improve conditions for exports.

Since no macroeconomic data releases are scheduled for the eurozone or the UK during the first half of the day—both of which have recently exerted pressure—risk assets may have a chance to recover modestly. This period of relative calm on the macroeconomic front may offer traders a brief reprieve and allow technical factors to take the lead temporarily.

Since no economic reports are expected from the UK today, market focus is likely to shift to speeches by Sarah Breeden, a member of the Bank of England's Financial Policy Committee, and Governor Andrew Bailey. Their public remarks could offer critical insight into the current state of the UK economy, inflation forecasts, and future monetary policy.

Traders will watch these statements closely for signals of potential regulatory changes in the financial sector. Comments on banking system stability, risks related to lending, and the adequacy of bank capital could significantly affect market sentiment.

If the data aligns with economists' expectations, relying on a Mean Reversion strategy is better. If the data significantly deviates from expectations, the Momentum strategy will be more appropriate.
