United States. The US dollar is strengthening against the Japanese yen today while posting moderate losses against the euro and the British pound.
EUR/USD is heading lower for a second straight week and is now testing the 1.1597 area, which corresponds to the Murray [5/8] level. The latest decline comes as the US dollar gains support from June inflation figures. Headline CPI accelerated from 2.4% to 2.7% year on year, while core inflation edged up from 2.8% to 2.9%. The data suggests that higher tariffs introduced by President Donald Trump are beginning to work their way into consumer prices. Many US companies are still relying on previously accumulated inventories, but the inflationary impact could become more visible in the months ahead.
The USD/JPY pair is trading near 148.60 this week, hovering at its highest levels since May as traders react to renewed hawkish rhetoric from the White House and shifting expectations for US monetary policy. President Donald Trump’s recent pledge to impose 10–15% import tariffs on products from 150 countries has lent notable strength to the dollar, which has gained 0.82% on the USDX over the past week. In the medium term, these developments could drive the pair toward the March high of 151.18.
The British pound is under moderate pressure against the US dollar during the morning session, with GBP/USD testing the 1.3390 level for a downside break. This comes as traders digest the latest UK labor market data alongside a fresh surge in inflation that complicates the Bank of England’s policy outlook.
United States: Dollar Retreats Amid Policy Uncertainty
The GBP/USD pair is consolidating near 1.3393, reflecting the recent upward momentum of the U.S. dollar as global markets adjust to a flurry of policy changes and trade agreements on both sides of the Atlantic.
The EUR USD pair is trading near 1.1616, edging lower during the Asian session despite a backdrop of generally upbeat macroeconomic releases from the eurozone. Market volatility persists as investors digest recent inflation figures and economic sentiment data, both in Europe and the United States.
On July 15, forex markets remain under pressure from escalating geopolitical tensions and aggressive US trade policy. President Donald Trump has announced 100% tariffs on Russian goods, as well as on imports from countries that maintain trade relations with Russia—namely China and India—unless a resolution to the Ukraine conflict is reached within 50 days.
The USD/JPY currency pair continued its upward trajectory during the Asian session on July 15, climbing toward the local highs recorded on June 23 near 147.60. Market activity remains subdued, as traders await key inflation data from the United States, which could set the tone for the dollar’s trajectory this week.
Forex EUR/USD: Euro Stable as Markets Await Industrial Data and US Inflation
The USD/CAD pair shows a moderate correction around 1.3698 during today's Asian session following Canada's robust labor market data released last Friday.
The global currency markets and oil prices remain sensitive to recent US trade policy developments, especially following President Trump's announcement of significant tariff hikes on goods from the EU and Mexico. Over the weekend, tariffs were increased by 30%, directly impacting economies supplying nearly a third of America's imports, totaling around $988 billion in 2022.
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.
