United States. The US dollar is strengthening against the Japanese yen today while posting moderate losses against the euro and the British pound.
The GBP/USD pair is correcting near the 1.3357 level, as the pound gradually loses upside momentum following the release of December UK housing market data. The figures highlight growing uncertainty linked to the indexation of property taxes across multiple housing categories under the new government budget.
The euro to US dollar (EUR/USD) exchange rate ended the week near 1.1740, easing slightly as investors reassessed expectations around monetary policy at major central banks. According to Nomura analysts, the European Central Bank could become one of the few G10 regulators in 2026 for which markets begin to seriously price the risk of policy tightening. Such a scenario could lend support to the euro, although the upside potential remains limited.
The euro to US dollar exchange rate (EUR/USD) is trading around 1.17311, showing a modest decline in early Friday trading as investors reassess the central bank signals delivered this week and adopt a cautious stance ahead of fresh monetary policy guidance.
The USD/JPY pair is trading near 155.94 within a long-term uptrend, forming a corresponding ascending channel. This week, prices reached the upper boundary of the channel but failed to break higher.
The euro to US dollar exchange rate (EUR/USD) is trading around 1.17552, remaining within a relatively narrow range ahead of the Federal Reserve meeting and failing to firmly break above the 1.17 level.
The pound posted a notable rebound following the release of the UK budget, as investors were relieved by the absence of major unexpected tax hikes. The move was also supported by the unwinding of a significant share of short sterling positions and a reduction in pessimism across the options market.
EUR/USD. The euro is gaining against the U.S. dollar, extending a fairly strong bullish impulse over the last two sessions: EUR/USD is testing the 1.1740 level for an upside breakout as traders digest fresh macro data. In France, the annual CPI rose by 0.8%, while the monthly figure fell by 0.2%, in line with forecasts.
EUR/USD. The euro is trading mixed against the US dollar, holding near 1.1700 and consolidating close to the local highs from 17 October, which were updated at the opening of Thursday’s session. Forex traders and investors remain focused on the US Federal Reserve’s rate decision, released yesterday.
The USD/CNH pair remains highly sensitive to the trade confrontation between China and the United States, which has somewhat eased over recent months. Since October, the leaders of both countries have repeatedly discussed trade terms and options for improving them: in a recent speech, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the parties had made substantial progress.
The GBP/USD pair is consolidating near 1.3305, holding a bullish bias as the US dollar shows a neutral trend. The pound is gaining support from expectations tied to Friday’s economic release and next week’s Bank of England policy decision.
EUR/USD. The EUR/USD pair is holding near 1.1630 as investors await the outcome of the US Federal Reserve meeting, which will be released today at 21:00 (GMT+2). At this point, there is virtually no doubt that the regulator will cut the interest rate by 25 basis points to 3.75% and may also signal a shift toward monetary easing in early 2026.
The US dollar is losing value against the USD/JPY pair, correcting after strong growth earlier this week: the instrument is again preparing to test the 156.65 mark for a downward breakout, retreating from local highs from November 24 that were updated yesterday.
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.
