📊 Euro rises after U.S. delays tariffs on EU imports by 90 days
The euro (EUR) gained 0.75% after U.S. President Donald Trump set a 9 July deadline for a trade deal with the EU. 'Markets have probably taken the view—and probably rightly so—that where we land eventually on a tariff situation between the U.S. and the EU is not going to be at 50%, but how we get there is frankly anybody's guess at the moment', said Ray Attrill, Head of FX Research at National Australia Bank.
👉 Possible effects for traders
U.S. President Donald Trump stepped back from his earlier threat to impose a 50% tariff on European Union imports, now setting a 9 July deadline to finalise a trade agreement. This move happened after a phone conversation between Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who requested more time to negotiate a deal. Now, 9 July marks the expiration of the 90-day grace period tied to 'Liberation Day' tariffs, offering temporary relief to global markets and signalling a potential for a possible diplomatic resolution.
This swift de-escalation—just two days after the initial tariff threat—highlights the unpredictable nature of U.S. trade policy under Trump. While the sudden changes may unsettle long-term planning, they also reassured investors that negotiations remain possible, tempering fears of a near-term global economic slowdown. Markets responded with cautious optimism, as the new deadline revived hopes for progress in trade talks and reduced immediate pressure on risk assets.
EURUSD continued to rise during Asian and early European trading sessions. Today's macroeconomic calendar is rather uneventful. Also, traders should note that several European Central Bank policymakers, including President Christine Lagarde, will give speeches later today. Their remarks, particularly regarding the current economic outlook and potential policy adjustments, might offer clues about the central bank's upcoming decisions and affect EURUSD.

📊 Gold rises after Trump threatens 50% Tariffs on European Imports
The gold (XAU) price rose sharply by 1.91% on Friday after global trade tensions escalated. 'Gold is heading for its best week in a month on raised U.S. fiscal debt concerns following a jump in U.S. long-end yields in response to Trump's tax bill, which will swell an already elevated US debt pile', Saxo Bank analysts noted.
👉 Possible effects for traders
U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to impose 50% tariffs on imports from the EU starting 1 June. This aggressive trade stance has intensified volatility in financial markets, with investors shifting capital into safe-haven assets such as gold. Trump's warning to Apple Inc. added further uncertainty, stating that the company could face a 25% tariff on iPhones if manufacturing remains outside the U.S. As a result, bullion prices surged nearly 5% last week, reflecting heightened investor anxiety over the worsening trade environment and broader economic implications.
At the same time, the House of Representatives recently passed Trump's new tax bill, which now heads to the Senate, with a vote anticipated by August. According to current projections, the legislation would expand the federal budget deficit by nearly $3 trillion over the next 10 years. Such a substantial rise in deficit spending raises concerns about the long-term stability of the U.S. economy, undermining confidence and contributing to further market volatility.
XAUUSD fell slightly during Asian and early European trading sessions. Today's macroeconomic calendar is rather uneventful, but traders should monitor any developments around trade tariffs. Additionally, the European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde will give a speech, which could add volatility to USD pairs. Key levels to watch for XAUUSD are support at $3,340 and resistance at $3,370.

📊 Last week’s market performance recap
A quick look at standout moves across major instruments:
🚀 Top performers:
🔹 XAUUSD +4.83% — gold rallied sharply as the dollar weakened and safe-haven demand surged.
🔹 GBPUSD +1.99% — the pound gained ground amid broad USD weakness.
🔹 NZDUSD +1.84% — the kiwi dollar moved higher as risk sentiment improved.
❌ Top losers:
🔹 USDJPY –2.16% — the yen strengthened as U.S. debt concerns spooked markets.
🔹 USDCHF –2.01% — the franc outperformed following a dip in dollar demand.
🔹 USDCAD –1.66% — the loonie gained as commodities held steady and USD slipped.
💬 Last week was defined by a broad decline in the U.S. dollar, triggered by Moody’s downgrade of the U.S. credit rating from ‘Aaa’ to ‘Aa1’ over growing debt concerns. The dollar’s weakness helped push precious metals higher and lifted major currencies across the board. XAUUSD surged further after President Trump threatened a 50% tariff on EU goods, driving safe-haven flows into gold.

📊GBPUSD reaches highest levels since 2022
GBPUSD continues to make new highs and reached 1.35937 on Monday.
👉 Possible effects for traders
Market sentiment improved following U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to delay imposing 50% tariffs on EU goods until 9 July. The decision boosted global risk appetite and further supported the British pound. The pound was already in a bullish trend, bolstered by stronger-than-expected domestic data pointing to sustained consumer activity despite broader economic challenges.
U.K. retail sales climbed 1.2% in April, marking the fourth consecutive monthly gain and signalling continued consumer resilience in the face of tax increases and international trade uncertainty. However, elevated inflation remains a key concern, with the headline inflation holding firm at 3.5%, surpassing market forecasts. In response, interest rate expectations have shifted, with markets are now pricing in a 50% chance of a Bank of England (BoE) rate cut by August. Meanwhile, the likelihood of a second cut by year-end grows as policymakers navigate the balance between inflationary pressures and slowing growth momentum.
GBPUSD rose slightly during Asian and early European trading sessions. The pair will likely experience significant volatility today as Andrew Hauser, Executive Director of Markets at BoE, will give a speech at 11:00 a.m. UTC. He may provide clues on the future changes in U.K. monetary policy. In addition, the U.S. will release two important macroeconomic reports: Durable Goods Orders at 12:30 p.m. and CB Consumer Confidence at 2:00 p.m. UTC. Both reports will impact the U.S. dollar, but the labour market figures are the most important. If jobless claims exceed expectations, GBPUSD may move higher, possibly above 1.36000. Lower-than-expected results may extend the short-term downtrend in GBPUSD and push the pair below the critically important 1.35000 level.

📊Euro—next global reserve currency?
The euro (EUR) gained 0.2% as investors remained cautious amid growing concerns over the U.S.'s comprehensive tax and spending bill and its impact on the nation's fiscal outlook. The proposed legislation could significantly widen the federal deficit, fuelling scepticism about the long-term sustainability of U.S. debt and dampening appetite for dollar-denominated assets.
👉 Possible effects for traders
This uncertainty has added to the broader erosion of confidence in U.S. financial instruments as markets assess the risks of increased borrowing against a backdrop of already elevated debt levels. With investors reassessing the relative attractiveness of U.S. assets, the U.S. dollar's (USD) recovery remains limited. Global markets are increasingly sensitive to fiscal developments and their implications for monetary policy and interest rates.
'In a way, all roads have led to a weaker USD', said Chris Weston, Head of Research at Pepperstone. 'Higher perceived U.S. deficits have raised concerns about increased future Treasury issuance, pushing up term premium and seeing people migrate away from the USD'. Meanwhile, European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde said on Monday that the euro could become a viable alternative to the U.S. dollar, the global reserve currency, if governments can strengthen the bloc's financial and security architecture. 'The ongoing changes create the opening for a 'global euro moment', Lagarde said at a lecture in Berlin. 'The euro will not gain influence by default—it will have to earn it'.
EURUSD remained relatively unchanged during Asian and early European trading sessions. Today, two U.S. macroeconomic reports will come out and may affect the market: Durable Goods Orders at 12:30 p.m. and CB Consumer Confidence at 2:00 p.m. UTC. Better-than-expected data could support the U.S. dollar, pulling the euro lower. In contrast, lower numbers may support the bullish momentum in EURUSD.

📊Gold hovers near two-week high
The gold (XAU) price slightly fell by 0.46% on Monday, after The European Union has agreed to accelerate trade negotiations.
👉 Possible effects for traders
This decision follows U.S. President Donald Trump's threat to implement a 50% tariff on European imports, scheduled for 1 June. Now, the deadline has been postponed to 9 July to give both sides more time for dialogue. The EU's proactive stance underscores the high stakes of preserving transatlantic trade relations amid mounting protectionist rhetoric. Markets reacted cautiously to the development, highlighting investor concerns about disruptions to global trade and corporate earnings.
'At this point, we are seeing some consolidation in gold prices. The market is taking a breather and waiting for the next catalyst', said Kelvin Wong, Senior Market Analyst, Asia Pacific at OANDA. 'However, market participants are concerned about the widening of that U.S. budget deficit that is a supporting factor for gold prices and that is also driving a dollar weakness as well'.
XAUUSD remained relatively unchanged during Asian and early European trading sessions. Today, the main focus is on the U.S. macroeconomic reports: Durable Goods Orders at 12:30 p.m. and CB Consumer Confidence at 2:00 p.m. UTC. Stronger-than-expected figures could delay further rate cuts, potentially weighing on XAUUSD. Conversely, worse-than-expected results may weaken the greenback and drive the gold price higher. Key levels to watch for XAUUSD are support at $3,320 and resistance at $3,370.

📊 Australian dollar falls on dovish RBA stance
The Australian dollar (AUD) declined towards around 0.64300 on Wednesday, extending its downtrend despite April's Consumer Price Index (CPI) slightly exceeding expectations.
👉Possible effects for traders
The CPI data revealed inflation was at 2.4%, marginally higher than the forecasted 2.3%. Still, the data failed to support the Australian dollar, as market participants remained focused on the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) dovish monetary stance.
The RBA's recent 25-basis-point (bps) rate cut and signals of further easing amid global headwinds—particularly from ongoing U.S.-China trade tensions—have weighed on sentiment. Policymakers have also pointed to subdued inflation and growth risks as justification for фт additional stimulus. Markets now price in a 65% probability of another rate cut in July, with expectations for a cumulative 75 basis points of easing by early 2026. At the same time, the U.S. dollar (USD) continued to strengthen, buoyed by improving economic indicators, further reducing demand for the Aussie.
During Asian and early European trading sessions, AUDUSD maintained upward momentum. Today, traders should observe the upcoming FOMC Meeting Minutes at 6:00 p.m. UTC as they may offer insights into the Fed's monetary policy outlook and affect the market. Key technical levels to watch are resistance at 0.64500 and support at 0.64000.
