📊 Australian dollar weakens after RBA decision
The Australian dollar (AUD) rose by 0.84% against the U.S. dollar (USD) on Monday after increased safe-haven demand for the Aussie after U.S. President Donald Trump called for an interest rate cut supported the rise.
👉Possible effects for traders
"The market is still very wary of the lack of austerity coming from the fiscal side in the U.S." said Rodrigo Catril, senior FX strategist at National Australia Bank. "We think that is potentially a driver for dollar weakness over the coming quarters as the market is likely to demand a higher premium to lend money to the U.S.," he added.
With the Reserve Bank of Australia’s latest move largely priced in, market focus has shifted to the central bank’s updated economic forecasts and Governor Bullock’s commentary for clearer signals on the future trajectory of interest rates, especially as recent Australian data has cast doubt on expectations for further cuts this year. Adding to the uncertainty, political instability weighed on the Australian dollar after National Party leader David Littleproud declared the end of the coalition with the Liberals, signaling a more fragmented opposition as Labor secured a stronger mandate following the coalition's collapse.
AUDUSD fell during Asian and early European trading sessions following the RBA's decision. Traders should now monitor upcoming speeches from RBA officials. Key technical levels to watch are resistance at 0.65100 and support at 0.63600.

📊 Waning confidence in U.S. exceptionalism has sent the dollar tumbling.
The euro (EUR) won 0.69% against the U.S. dollar (USD) on Monday.
👉Possible effects for traders
The U.S. dollar came under renewed selling pressure following Moody’s decision to downgrade the country’s sovereign credit rating by one notch—marking the third major agency to take such action after Fitch’s downgrade in 2023 and S&P’s in 2011. The move has reignited concerns over the sustainability of U.S. fiscal policy and its long-term creditworthiness. George Vessey, lead currency and macroeconomic strategist at Convera, noted that "there’s a lot of scope for further downgrades, purely from a valuation perspective," suggesting that a broad "sell America" sentiment may resurface among global investors.
Adding to the market's caution, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reaffirmed on Sunday that President Donald Trump stands ready to reimpose the higher tariff rates threatened last month if key trading partners fail to engage in negotiations "in good faith." This assertive stance on trade policy is likely to amplify geopolitical risk and investor unease, potentially fueling further outflows from dollar-denominated assets. As a result, the combination of sovereign credit concerns and renewed trade uncertainty is reshaping short-term sentiment toward the U.S. economy and its currency.
EURUSD continues to rise during Asian and early European trading sessions. Today, traders should focus on the Consumer Confidence report, which will be released on 2:00 p.m. UTC. In addition, traders should monitor developments concerning global trade tariffs and Russia-Ukraine peace negotiations.Key levels to watch are support at 1.11000 and resistance at 1.13000.

📊 Gold Gains on weakening U.S. Dollar
The gold (XAU) price rose by 0.83% on Monday, buoyed by a weaker U.S. dollar and escalating trade tensions following Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s warning about potential tariff hikes.
👉Possible effects for traders
Bessent indicated that if countries fail to negotiate "in good faith," tariff rates would revert to the harsher levels announced on April 2. This rhetoric has reintroduced uncertainty into markets that had briefly embraced optimism, increasing demand for safe-haven assets such as gold.
Adding to the cautious sentiment, Moody’s recent downgrade of the U.S. credit rating has intensified investor concerns about the country's fiscal trajectory. The downgrade, viewed as a reflection of mounting structural weaknesses in the U.S. economy, has reinforced a broader risk-off mood across global markets. As Swissquote Bank’s senior analyst Ipek Ozkardeskaya notes, the fragile optimism seen in previous sessions may prove short-lived, prompting investors to seek refuge in traditional hedges like precious metals.
XAUUSD fell slightly during Asian and early European trading sessions. Today, investors should closely monitor potential shifts in U.S. trade policy and the Russia–Ukraine peace talks. These developments could significantly impact the market. In addition, the eurozone's Consumer Confidence report, due at 2:00 p.m. UTC, may trigger some volatility. Key levels to watch for XAUUSD are support level at $3,160 and resistance level at $3,250.

📊 The British pound holds near three-week high
The British pound (GBP) rose by 0.22% against the U.S. dollar (USD) on Tuesday. This currency strengthened after the U.K. and EU agreed on a significant reset of trade and defence relations, which markets have interpreted as a potential catalyst for improved economic cooperation and long-term growth prospects.
👉Possible effects for traders
'Yesterday's big news in terms of the new U.K.–EU deal was a mild positive for sterling, although we don't think it moves the needle substantially on growth given the relatively small size of the animal livestock and border crossing arrangements that have been made', said Chris Turner, Head of FX Strategy at ING. 'In the G10 space, interest rates are quite supportive for the U.K. because Bank of England policy is more aligned with Federal Reserve policy than it is with European Central Bank policy, so that's helping sterling'.
Adding to the pound's support, Bank of England (BoE) Chief Economist Huw Pill struck a hawkish tone, suggesting that the central bank's recent pace of rate cuts may have been overly aggressive. Pill emphasised persistent wage-driven inflationary pressures and clarified that his vote to hold rates in May should be viewed as a temporary pause rather than a policy shift.
GBPUSD rose during the Asian and early European trading sessions. Traders should closely watch the upcoming Inflation Rate data today at 6:00 a.m. UTC, which could influence the BoE's next interest rate decision in June. Key technical levels to monitor include resistance at 1.34500 and support at 1.33000.

📊 Euro rises as traders await Trump's next moves and trade talks
The euro (EUR) gained 0.39% against the U.S. dollar (USD) on Tuesday. EURUSD has been rising for two consecutive days as U.S. President Donald Trump failed to convince Republican supporters to back his sweeping tax bill.
👉Possible effects for traders
'Tariff rates are now lower, but not low, and the same can be said about recession risks in the U.S.', Goldman Sachs analysts wrote in a research note. 'But as recession risks have compressed, risks from higher rates are growing', they added. 'The U.S. still faces the worst growth-inflation mix of the major economies, and as the fiscal bill makes its way through Congress, eroding U.S. exceptionalism is proving—literally—costly at a time of large funding needs. This leaves wider paths to a weaker dollar and a steeper U.S. Treasury curve'.
Unease continues to exert pressure on the U.S. dollar, even as Treasury yields rise, reflecting a persistent 'sell America' tone among investors, albeit with less urgency than earlier in the month. While Moody's recent downgrade of U.S. sovereign credit had a muted market reaction, it still contributes to a broader narrative of waning confidence in U.S. assets as safe-haven. Investors are reassessing their exposure to dollar-denominated holdings amid mounting fiscal uncertainty and geopolitical tensions.
EURUSD continued to rise during Asian and early European trading sessions. Today, traders should closely watch the ongoing G7 finance ministers' meeting in Canada. If U.S. officials signal a preference for a weaker U.S. dollar, it would have broad implications for global capital flows and trade competitiveness. Key levels to watch are support at 1.13000 and resistance at 1.14000.

📊 Gold rockets on heightened geopolitical uncertainty
The gold (XAU) price rose by 1.86% on Tuesday, supported by rising geopolitical risks and a weakening U.S. dollar (USD).
👉Possible effects for traders
Market anxiety intensified following reports that Israel may be preparing to strike Iranian nuclear sites, a move that could significantly escalate tensions in the Middle East. Adding to global unease, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Russia and Ukraine would begin ceasefire negotiations but appeared to distance himself from mediating the conflict directly. New sanctions imposed by the EU and U.K. against Russia also added to the already tense geopolitical environment, driving increased demand for safe-haven assets like gold.
At the same time, the U.S. dollar remained under pressure, weighed down by the Federal Reserve's (Fed) cautious outlook and Moody's recent downgrade of the U.S. credit rating. Investor sentiment has been rattled by uncertainty surrounding future tariff policies and an upcoming key vote on President Trump's sweeping tax reforms. The weakness in the U.S. dollar has made gold more attractive to foreign buyers, as the metal becomes cheaper in other currencies. This combination of geopolitical uncertainty and macroeconomic headwinds reinforces gold's appeal as a protective asset in turbulent times.
XAUUSD continued rising during Asian and early European trading sessions. Today, investors should closely monitor the ongoing G7 finance ministers' meeting in Canada, wary that U.S. officials may signal a preference for a weaker U.S. dollar. Key levels to watch for XAUUSD are the support level at $3,260 and the resistance level at $3,340.

📊 USDJPY reached 143.000
The Japanese yen (JPY) strengthened, with USDJPY reaching nearly 143.000 on Thursday. This marks USDJPY's lowest level in over two weeks, as growing concerns about the U.S. fiscal trajectory pressured the U.S. dollar (USD).
👉Possible effects for traders
Market sentiment turned risk-averse amid fears that U.S. President Donald Trump's proposed tax cuts—estimated to increase the national debt by over $3 trillion—could erode investor confidence in U.S. financial assets and fuel market volatility. These anxieties drove demand for safe-haven currencies higher, boosting the Japanese yen (JPY) appeal.
On the policy front, Japanese Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato confirmed that exchange rate issues weren't discussed with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent during recent G7 meetings. This statement counters speculation about coordinated intervention. Domestically, Japan's economic indicators painted a mixed picture: core machinery orders surged by 13% in March—well above expectations and signalling strong capital investment—while May Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) data showed ongoing weakness in manufacturing and a slowdown in the services sector growth, highlighting uneven momentum in the broader economy.
USDJPY continued to fall for the eighth consecutive day during Asian and early European trading sessions. Today, apart from tariff-related news, traders should focus on the U.S. S&P Manufacturing and Services PMI report at 1:45 p.m. UTC. It may shed light on the state of the U.S. labour market, potentially altering investors' rate-cut expectations and triggering volatility across USD currency pairs. Key levels to watch are resistance at 144.500 and support at 143.200

The Japanese yen (JPY) strengthened, with USDJPY reaching nearly 143.000 on Thursday. This marks USDJPY's lowest level in over two weeks, as growing concerns about the U.S. fiscal trajectory pressured the U.S. dollar (USD).
👉Possible effects for traders
Market sentiment turned risk-averse amid fears that U.S. President Donald Trump's proposed tax cuts—estimated to increase the national debt by over $3 trillion—could erode investor confidence in U.S. financial assets and fuel market volatility. These anxieties drove demand for safe-haven currencies higher, boosting the Japanese yen (JPY) appeal.

📊 Euro rises amid growing concerns over U.S. fiscal plans
The euro (EUR) gained 0.41% against the U.S. dollar (USD) on Wednesday due to concerns over U.S. President Donald Trump's fiscal policy.
👉Possible effects for traders
The U.S. dollar weakened broadly on Wednesday as investor confidence faltered amid concerns surrounding the Trump administration's proposed tax cut and spending plans. Political divisions within the Republican Party continue to hinder progress, with fiscal conservatives criticising the bill for not including deeper spending cuts. President Trump's meeting with House Republicans on Tuesday failed to unify support, intensifying market doubts over the administration's fiscal direction.
Further pressuring the U.S. dollar was a disappointing 20-year Treasury bond auction, in which $16 billion in bonds sold at a yield of 5.047%—a record high, above market expectations. The weak demand suggests that investors are increasingly reluctant to hold U.S. government debt, reinforcing a broader aversion to U.S. assets.
EURUSD remained relatively flat during Asian and early European trading sessions. The U.S. Jobless Claims and S&P Manufacturing and Services Purchasing Manager's Index (PMI) reports will be released today at 12:30 p.m. and 1:45 p.m. UTC, respectively. Higher-than-expected Jobless Claims figures could be bullish for the euro, while weaker-than-expected data could exert downward pressure on EURUSD. Similarly, lower-than-anticipated U.S. PMI data may support the pair, while stronger readings will likely provoke a downward correction and push the euro down towards the 1.13000 level.

📊 Gold rises on demand for safe-haven assets
The gold (XAU) price rose by 0.77% on Wednesday amid growing concerns over the U.S. fiscal outlook.
👉Possible effects for traders
Investor risk appetite diminished after a proposed U.S. federal budget was released, revealing a potential expansion of the already substantial fiscal deficit. This concern was intensified by Moody’s recent downgrade of the U.S. credit outlook. The agency explained the downgrade, citing escalating debt levels and growing macroeconomic uncertainty. The Federal Reserve's (Fed) cautious tone regarding the U.S. economic outlook also added to investor unease, prompting a shift toward defensive assets.
At the same time, geopolitical instability—particularly the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and U.S. President Donald Trump's retreat from involvement in the Russia–Ukraine situation—further boosted the safe-haven appeal of gold. Meanwhile, Chinese customs data revealed that gold imports soared towards an 11-month high of 127.5 metric tonnes in April, a 73% increase from March. This spike was fuelled by heightened domestic demand and expanded import quotas issued by the People's Bank of China amid escalating U.S.–China trade tensions.
XAUUSD continued to rise during Asian and early European trading sessions. Today, U.S. Jobless Claims at 12:30 p.m. UTC will shed light on the state of the U.S. labour market, potentially altering Fed monetary policy expectations. Moreover, traders should monitor news related to trade tariffs and developments in negotiations. Key levels to watch for XAUUSD are the support level at $3,260 and the resistance level at $3,340.
