GBP Intraday Trend Analysis   

Fundamental Analysis：

GBP/USD fell 0.2% to $1.1979.

This comes after data showed that UK business activity grew at its slowest pace in 17 months in July, with inflationary pressures easing. 

That could ease pressure on the Bank of England to raise interest rates by a larger-than-usual margin next month, with U.K. inflation now at its highest level in 40 years.

2. Precious Metals Market Insight   

Gold   

Fundamental Analysis:   

Gold prices rose slightly on Friday, 22^nd July 2022. 

Gold saw its first weekly gain in six weeks as the safe-haven appeal of non-sin rate gold was strengthened by the retreat in U.S. Treasury yields and the decline in the U.S. dollar, amid continuing economic risks.      

The fall in the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note helped gold move higher.
