A bull cycle in EURGBP remains in play and this week’s extension reinforces the current bullish theme. The cross has breached 0.8419, 76.4% of the Jan 20 - Mar 3 bear leg. This paves the way for a climb towards 0.8474, the Jan 20 high and the next key resistance. On the downside, initial firm support is seen at 0.8335, the 50-day EMA. The short-term trend is in overbought territory. A pullback would allow this set-up to unwind.

US: Voters Says Trump Is Doing What He Promised On Campaign Trail

Feb-10 18:37

A new survey from CBS has found that most Americans describe Trump as "tough," "energetic," "focused" and "effective" — and believe he is “doing what he'd promised during his campaign…”

  • CBS notes: “Many say he's doing more than they expected — and of those who say this, most like what they see. Very few think he's doing less."
  • CBS adds: “His partisans and his voters, in particular, say he's got the right amount of focus on matters like ending diversity, equity and inclusion programs and deporting those who are in the country illegally. His deportation policy finds majority approval overall — just as most voters said they wanted during the campaign — and that extends to sending troops to the border, too."
  • The report warns: “But one key issue looms: Most Americans say the administration isn't focused enough on lowering prices. Inflation was a key reason Mr. Trump won the election.”
