On April 4, according to people familiar with the matter, US Republicans are considering creating a new tax bracket for people with incomes of $1 million or more to offset part of the cost of the tax bill, which is in stark contrast to the Republican Partys decades-long opposition to tax increases. People familiar with the matter said the new top tax rate would be between 39% and 40%. Trump administration officials and allies on Capitol Hill are beginning to draft a tax plan, hoping to pass it in the coming months. In addition, Republicans are also considering raising the top tax rate on incomes over $626,350 from the current 37% to 39.6%, which means the top tax rate will return to the level set by former President Obama.US President Trump: Britain is happy with US tariffs.Foreign central banks held U.S. Treasuries worth -$1.76 billion in the week ending March 27, compared with -$14.896 billion in the previous week.Trump trade adviser Navarro: Tariffs are to protect the American people and increase revenue.April 4th, as a new wave of tariffs upends global markets, the dollar has wiped out all of its gains since Trump won the election last November. "The dollar bear market has arrived and its roaring," said Paresh Upadhyaya, director of fixed income and currency strategy at Amundi. He added that the dollar could fall 10% this year as the United States "teeters on the brink of recession." This is in stark contrast to earlier this year, when Trumps policy plans such as tax cuts and tariffs were seen as a reason to bet on a rebound in the dollar. In February, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessant said Trumps policies were "completely consistent" with a strong dollar, confirming the governments strong dollar stance. "We may be in the early stages of a structural sell-off in the dollar," said Ed Al-Hussainy, strategist at Columbia Threadneedle Investment.

GBP/USD Attempting to keep the price above 1.2000 in the positive

GBP/USD recouped losses and flirted with daily highs after a brief slide to a new daily low of 1.2022. As speculative interest continues to examine contradictory macroeconomic data from the United States, the currency is now trading in the region of 1.2040-1.2060. On the one hand, the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index rose 5.5% year over year in November, down from 6.1% in October, showing a significant reduction in inflationary pressures in the country.

 

In contrast, Durable Goods Orders unexpectedly declined by 2.1% month-over-month in the same month, which was significantly worse than the 0.6% loss that market participants had anticipated. Nonetheless, the key statistic, Nondefense Capital Goods Orders excluding Aircraft, climbed by 0.2%, beating the expected reading of 0.0%.

 

The US Dollar initially rose in response to the news, but has since recovered as a result of weekly highs in Treasury yields. The yield on the 10-year note reached its highest level for the month of December at 3.728%, while the yield on the -year note rose to 4.322%. Prior to the opening of Wall Street, rates sustained their gains, while US indexes are expected to open with moderate gains, mirroring their foreign counterparts.

 

In the meantime, the British Pound remains weak as recent macroeconomic indicators indicate that the United Kingdom will continue in recession well beyond 2023.

 

The GBP/USD exchange rate is reasonably stable on a daily basis as a result of the advent of winter holidays, which reduces trade volumes. As the pair continues to trade beneath a bearish 200-day simple moving average (SMA) after breaking below it on Thursday, technical indicators on the daily chart indicate that further declines are ahead. In the interim, technical indicators evolve inside negative levels, devoid of directionality but displaying no signs of bearish tiredness and well above oversold levels.

 

The weekly low of 1.1991 is the nearest near-term support level leading to 1.1950. A daily close at the latter level may portend a more precipitous decline the following week. At the immediate resistance level of 1.2080, sellers are building short positions, followed by 1.2140.
