United States. The US dollar is strengthening against the Japanese yen today while posting moderate losses against the euro and the British pound.
This week, the USD/JPY pair is showing mixed dynamics. On Monday, it corrected lower toward the middle Bollinger Band at 158.00 following the postponement of US President Donald Trump’s ultimatum deadline and statements about the start of negotiations to resolve the US-Iran conflict. However, no details about the consultations followed, while media reports suggested that both sides consider each other's demands unrealistic. As investor disappointment grew, alternatives to the US dollar weakened, and the yen returned to 159.37 (Murray level [8/8]).

Despite relatively stable EU economic data and a neutral monetary policy stance, risks to the eurozone economy remain elevated. The main concern is the disruption of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz amid ongoing military activity in the region, leading to supply disruptions in liquefied natural gas (LNG) and rising fuel prices.

The US dollar is recovering after developing a bearish impulse in the previous session, testing the 158.75 level for a breakout higher, while the market’s focus remains on inflation data from Japan. The national consumer price index slowed from 1.5% to 1.3% year-on-year in February, coming in slightly below analyst expectations, while the same indicator excluding food and energy prices eased from 2.6% to 2.5%. At the same time, it is worth noting separately that the statistics do not yet reflect changes in energy prices caused by the escalation of the Middle East crisis, which began on February 28, and therefore the current slowdown is not fully indicative.

The USD/CAD pair is attempting to consolidate above the 1.3725 resistance level, which marks the February high, amid the strengthening of the US dollar. Last week, the greenback traded within the 100.65–99.20 resistance zone on the USDX index. Although the currency closed the week in negative territory overall, it failed to break below 99.20 and started the new week with gains supported by fundamental factors.
The EUR/USD pair is holding near the 1.1551 level amid unstable US dollar dynamics, driven by disruptions in energy transportation from the Persian Gulf region that are pushing prices higher. At the same time, investors were supported by signals pointing to a potential interest rate hike by the European Central Bank (ECB) in April to combat inflation.
During the morning session, the USD/CHF pair is recovering after last week’s bearish close, which prevented it from consolidating at the highs seen on January 22. Investors and forex traders are now focused on the outcomes of monetary policy meetings held by the Swiss and US central banks.
Amid the positive momentum of the US dollar, which remains close to the 100.00 level in the USDX index, the USD/JPY pair is correcting within an uptrend, trading around 159.41.
The pound is gaining in the GBP/USD pair, holding near 1.3330, while investor activity remains fairly subdued as markets wait for fresh catalysts to drive price action. In particular, February inflation data from the UK will be published on Wednesday at 09:00 (GMT+2), and these figures are expected to have a significant impact on future decisions by monetary authorities. It is worth noting, however, that the release will not yet reflect the energy factor resulting from the escalation in the Middle East. According to forecasts, the core consumer price index is expected to remain unchanged at 3.1%, while the broader indicator had already reached 3.0% in January and fell by 0.5% on a monthly basis.<
After the Bank of Japan left its interest rate unchanged at 0.75%, the highest level in more than 30 years, the USD/JPY pair fell by 1.24% to 158.37.
Forex analysis helps traders figure out where a currency pair might move next and guides their trading decisions. It’s a daily tool for planning entries and exits, based on two main approaches. Fundamental analysis looks at the broader economy: growth, inflation, and especially central bank policy on interest rates. Technical analysis studies past price movements, chart patterns, and signals that tend to repeat over time. Together, these methods give traders a clearer picture of the market and improve decision-making.
