FX:GBPUSD   British Pound / U.S. Dollar
Hello everyone! This week, GBP/USD has witnessed a slight recovery, climbing above the 1.2450 level after dropping to its lowest point in November at 1.2426 last week. The technical outlook still signals a downward trend, but easing geopolitical tensions may prolong the currency pair's recovery time.

Investors sought safe haven assets last week following reports that Iran may retaliate for what is believed to be an Israeli attack on their consulate in Damascus on April 1st. This has boosted the US dollar as a preferred safe asset, thereby putting pressure on GBP/USD at the end of the US trading session.

US stock index futures were last seen rising between 0.4% and 0.6% for the day. If Wall Street's key indices open positively and continue to rise, the US dollar may struggle to maintain its strength, potentially allowing GBP/USD to climb higher.
