With softer-than-expected U.S. inflation data fueling speculation that the Federal Reserve may pivot toward rate cuts later this year, global currency and commodity markets are responding with renewed momentum. Meanwhile, geopolitical tensions, evolving trade dynamics, and monetary policy divergences across the Eurozone, United Kingdom, Japan, and United States are exerting notable influence on directional trends.
🇪🇺/🇺🇸 EUR/USD Outlook – Euro vs U.S. Dollar
The euro continued its rally, advancing near three-year highs amid diverging central bank paths. While the ECB recently implemented its eighth consecutive rate cut, policymakers now hint at a potential pause. This dovish inflection is counterbalanced by solid Eurozone GDP figures and inflation data settling below target.
In the U.S., initial jobless claims and PPI figures will be crucial for confirming a shift in Fed policy. Softer inflation metrics could weaken the dollar further, reinforcing euro strength.
- Support levels: 1.1500, 1.1455, 1.1405, 1.1375
- Resistance levels: 1.1572, 1.1612, 1.1676
Forecast: EUR/USD remains bullish with scope to break above 1.1572 if U.S. economic data continues to disappoint. However, failure to hold above 1.1500 may open the path for a deeper pullback toward 1.1455.
🇬🇧/🇺🇸 GBP/USD Outlook – British Pound vs U.S. Dollar
The British pound has reclaimed strength, buoyed by cooling U.S. inflation and the UK government’s fiscal expansion plan. The BoE’s expected rate hold next week further supports sterling, especially amid falling U.S. rate hike odds. Still, poor UK GDP figures remain a headwind, signaling underlying economic fragility.
PPI data from the U.S. may shape short-term dollar dynamics. Should it confirm disinflation trends, GBP/USD may extend gains.
- Support levels: 1.3540, 1.3465, 1.3435, 1.3390
- Resistance levels: 1.3616, 1.3641, 1.3685
Forecast: GBP/USD maintains an upward trajectory with targets near 1.3616–1.3641. A break below 1.3465 would weaken bullish sentiment, exposing 1.3390 as the next downside target.
🇺🇸/🇯🇵 USD/JPY Outlook – U.S. Dollar vs Japanese Yen
The yen appreciated slightly, driven by safe-haven demand after the U.S. announced fresh tariff threats. The BoJ remains dovish relative to the Fed, though domestic economic softness continues to weigh on sentiment. Business sentiment deteriorated further, yet market expectations of a more dovish Fed in Q3–Q4 support the yen’s rebound.
Key U.S. inflation data continues to shape outlooks. A dovish turn in Fed expectations would solidify yen strength.
- Support levels: 143.45, 142.62, 142.19
- Resistance levels: 144.33, 145.06, 146.27
Forecast: USD/JPY may test support near 143.45. If breached, deeper losses toward 142.62 are likely. Conversely, any strong U.S. data could trigger a bounce to test 144.33 or even 145.06.
🌕 Gold (XAU/USD) Outlook – Gold vs U.S. Dollar
Gold prices surged past $3,370 as markets recalibrated their rate expectations following weak U.S. CPI. Investor interest remains high amid a favorable macro backdrop for precious metals: lower real yields, softening inflation, and renewed trade concerns between the U.S. and China.
A recent U.S.–China trade truce framework may stabilize sentiment, but the potential for Fed easing later this year sustains bullish momentum in gold.
- Support levels: 3345, 3303, 3272, 3248
- Resistance levels: 3375, 3392, 3403, 3437
Forecast: XAU/USD is poised to retest 3403 and possibly reach 3437. A breakdown below 3345 would threaten the bullish structure and target deeper levels near 3303.
