. USD/JPY - 111.23.. Dlr met renewed selling at 112.20 in NZ on Mon n fell below Fri's 111.02 low to 110.77 in Asia. Despite a recovery to 111.17 at European open, price hit 1-month low of 110.64 b4 rising strongly to 11.32 in NY.

. On the bigger picture 1st, dlr's strg rise fm 2016 bottom of 99.00 (Jun) to 118.66 (mid-Dec) confirms MT fall fm 2015 near 13-year peak at 125.86 has end -ed there. Despite subsequent decline to 108.13 in Apr this year, dlr's 3-legegd upmove to 114.49 in mid-Jul suggests broad sideways trading is in store. Having said that, dlr's weakness to 111.02 last Fri signals a strg retracement of said move fm 108.13 has taken place n would head twd 110.56 (61.8% r fm 108.13), however, as hourly n daily oscillators' readings would be in o/sold territory on such move, reckon 109.34 (80.9% r) would remain intact. Selling dlr on recovery is favoured n only abv 112.42 signals low is possibly made, 112.87, then 113.58.

. Today, despite resumption of recent decline to a 1-month low of 110.64, as this lvl was accompanied by 'bullish convergences' on the hourly indicators, subsequent strg bounce in NY to 111.32 would bring consolidation n 111.48 needs to hold for one more fall to 110.35/40. Abv 111.48 risks 111.81 n later 112.08.

AUD/USD seems vulnerable near 0.6800, 10-month low amid bullish USD

AUD/USD languishes near a 10-month low during the Asian session on Friday, awaiting a break below 0.6800 before the next leg up amid a bullish US Dollar. Firming Fed rate-hike expectations, along with fading hopes for US-Iran diplomacy, help the USD hold gains at its highest level since April 2025. Moreover, the RBA’s dovish tilt undermines the Aussie and backs the case for further losses.

USD/JPY bulls turn cautious near 160.00 amid intervention risks

USD/JPY enters a bullish consolidation phase around its highest level since early September as bulls turn cautious amid intervention risk near 160.00. Meanwhile, the downside seems cushioned as the wide US-Japan interest rate gap keeps the Yen carry trade active. Furthermore, the possibility of a jumbo Fed rate hike and Middle East uncertainties hold the US Dollar near a 19-month top, supporting the currency pair.



Gold sticks to gains above $3,900; bulls lack conviction as Fed and Iran risks support USD

Gold clings to modest recovery gains above the $3,900 mark during the Asian session, snapping its three-day losing streak to the lowest level since late September set the previous day. The US Dollar takes a breather after a strong three-day rally to its highest level since April 2025, offering some support to the commodity. However, firming US Federal Reserve rate-hike expectations and Middle East uncertainties continue to support the Greenback. This keeps a lid on any further upside for the precious metal.

Bitcoin just posted five straight losing weeks, and the storm may not be over yet

Bitcoin is struggling to find support, slipping below $70,000 as multiple headwinds threaten to push the Crypto King lower. The much-anticipated “Uptober” rally failed to materialize, with persistent selling pressure and widespread liquidations instead reinforcing the “Rektober” narrative.

Week ahead – Fed Minutes, inflation data and Nvidia earnings to guide investors

Fed minutes may add to hawkish tone as bets of 50-bps hike grow. Nvidia to report earnings as bar to impress high after spy scandal. Trade and geopolitics to be focal point of Trump-Xi summit.

What the US CPI headline doesn’t tell you about inflation

Brent crude has fallen about a third since mid-October on hopes the Iran war is ending, but diesel, freight and fertiliser costs haven't followed. Those costs reach US consumer prices in stages through 2027 and could keep inflation high after gasoline gets cheaper.
