1. GBP/USD Analysis:

News Summary:

UK government bonds fell again on Thursday. The escalating conflict with Iran prompted investors to price in the possibility that the Bank of England may raise interest rates this year, as concerns grow that the UK is vulnerable to energy price shocks. Long-dated government bonds recorded the largest declines on Thursday. This was due to worries that the government may need to borrow additional funds to provide financial support to energy consumers. The market has further increased its bets on a Bank of England rate hike, even though just a week ago such a possibility was considered highly unlikely.

Trend Analysis:

We can see GBP/USD on the chart is fluctuating and moving lower, remaining below the 48 hours moving average. In addition, the MACD double line and histogram bars are expanding around the zero axis. The sell limit could be set, stop loss is necessary.

2. Crude Oil Analysis:

News Summary:

Despite several countries releasing strategic petroleum reserves to cope with surging oil prices, production cuts by oil-producing nations and Iran’s warning that the market should prepare for oil reaching $200 per barrel have intensified uncertainty risks in the Middle East. The United States announced that President Trump has authorized the release of 172 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, with implementation expected to begin next week. The release rate is expected to keep the delivery cycle running for about 120 days. The move aims to address the surge in global oil prices triggered by the U.S.–Iran conflict and to ensure the stability of energy supplies.

Trend Analysis:

On the H4 chart, we can see crude oil continues to rebound and is trading above the 48 hours moving average. However, the MACD double line and energy bars are continuing to contract above the zero axis. The buy limit could be placed, stop loss is mandatory.
