United States of America. The US dollar is strengthening against the pound and the yen, while showing mixed performance against the euro.
By Sagar Dua The Australian dollar is gaining ground against the US dollar, offsetting the corrective bearish impulse seen over the past two sessions. The AUD/USD pair is testing the 0.6640 level to the upside as market participants assess incoming macroeconomic data from China.
By Sagar Dua EUR/USD. The European currency is showing mixed performance against the US dollar, consolidating near the 1.1730 level. Market activity remains relatively subdued as investors await the release of key US labor market data for November, scheduled for tomorrow at 15:30 (GMT+2).
By Sagar Dua The US dollar is losing ground against the Japanese yen, with the USD/JPY pair testing the 155.15 level to the downside. However, investors remain cautious and are refraining from opening new positions ahead of the key US Department of Labor report for November, scheduled for release tomorrow at 15:30 (GMT+2). October data was not published at all, while the upcoming figures are delayed due to the impact of the government shutdown.
Stronger-than-expected labor market data could force markets to reassess expectations regarding future easing by the Federal Reserve, while weaker numbers may prompt the regulator to revise its interest rate outlook, which currently implies only one rate cut in 2026. Investors, however, are pricing in two rate adjustments, with the final outcome largely dependent on labor market conditions and leadership changes at the Fed. Jerome Powell’s second four-year term as Fed Chair expires in May 2026, and one of the leading candidates to succeed him is White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett. According to Bloomberg, Hassett shares President Donald Trump’s economic views and supports the continuation of a dovish Federal Reserve policy stance.
By Sagar Dua 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.
By Sagar Dua 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.
By Sagar Dua 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.
By Sagar Dua 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.
By Sagar Dua 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.
By Sagar Dua 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.
By Sagar Dua 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.
By Sagar Dua 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.
By Sagar Dua 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.
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.
