That was the start of a hard path to the World Champion title for Viswanathan Anand, the man who became a part of history of chess forever. Now one more legend in the InstaSpot team!

Today, I traded the British pound using the Mean Reversion strategy, while the euro was traded using the Momentum strategy.
During the first half of the day, the U.S. dollar gave back the gains it had made against risk-sensitive assets earlier in the session, when it benefited from escalating tensions between the United States and Iran. At the start of European trading, renewed escalation surrounding the U.S. strikes on Iran drove investors toward safe-haven assets, boosting demand for the U.S. dollar. However, as the latest wave of market anxiety subsided and no immediate deterioration in the geopolitical situation materialized, demand for defensive assets weakened, prompting capital to flow back into higher-yielding investments.
This shift in sentiment supported both the euro and the British pound. The return of risk appetite eroded the dollar's earlier gains, allowing both European currencies to recover part of their losses. As long as no new signs of escalation emerge, EUR/USD and GBP/USD are likely to remain above their intraday lows, with price action continuing to be driven primarily by developments surrounding the Middle East conflict.
The U.S. economic calendar for the second half of the day is relatively light. Market participants will focus mainly on speeches by FOMC members Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller. No other significant U.S. macroeconomic releases are scheduled, meaning the tone of their remarks is likely to determine the direction of the U.S. dollar. Their comments are important because they shape market expectations for future interest rate decisions, and any indication that the Federal Reserve remains prepared to raise rates would directly support the dollar.
However, as noted above, in the absence of major economic data, the euro and the pound are likely to react primarily to the tone of these speeches. Hawkish remarks from Bowman and Waller could strengthen the U.S. dollar, putting downward pressure on EUR/USD and GBP/USD, while a more cautious tone could ease market concerns and provide renewed support for both European currencies.
If strong economic data is released unexpectedly, I will rely on the Momentum strategy. If the market shows little or no reaction, I will continue using the Mean Reversion strategy.
