The pound dropped against its most major counterparts in the New
York session on Monday amid renewed trade concerns, as President
Donald Trump announced plans to impose a 100 percent tariff on
movies produced in foreign countries.
"The Movie Industry in America is DYING a very fast death,"
Trump said in a post on Truth Social. "Other Countries are offering
all sorts of incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios away
from the United States. Hollywood, and many other areas within the
U.S.A., are being devastated."
"This is a concerted effort by other Nations and, therefore, a
National Security threat. It is, in addition to everything else,
messaging and propaganda!" he added. "WE WANT MOVIES MADE IN
AMERICA, AGAIN!"
Trump also told reporters on Sunday that he has no plans to talk
to his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping this week, offsetting recent
optimism about a potential U.S.-China trade deal.
Investors looked ahead to interest rate decisions from the
Federal Reserve and the Bank of England, due later this week.
The U.S. Federal Reserve is widely expected to stay in
"wait-and-see" mode and keep its key interest rate steady at the
end of its two-day meeting on Wednesday.
The pound retreated to 1.3269 against the greenback, from an
early 4-day high of 1.3335. This may be compared to an early nearly
2-week low of 1.3257. The next possible support for the currency is
seen around the 1.28 level.
The pound fell to a 4-day low of 191.04 against the yen. The
currency may find support around the 186.00 level.
The pound edged down to 1.0930 against the franc. The currency
is poised to challenge support around the 1.06 level.
In contrast, the pound rose against the euro and was trading at
0.8513. If the currency rises further, it is likely to find
resistance around the 0.83 level.
