Can the market calm continue?

China is the one big exception from US President Donald Trump's 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs – it suffers from duties of 125%. Other countries will only suffer the baseline 10% levies, and that is the reason for the relief. Fewer tariffs mean a lower chance of recession.

However, tariffs mean higher prices – and that could lead to rate hikes or at least a slower pace of cuts.

What is the pre-tariff inflation rate? The data released now, and especially core CPI MoM, are key. Any lower figure would boost Stocks and Gold, while above-estimates data would support the US Dollar.

EUR/USD remains bid, focus stays on 1.1900

EUR/USD has broken its two-day run of losses and is ticking modestly higher on Thursday, hovering around the 1.1880 area as the US Dollar struggles to find clear direction. Weekly Initial Jobless Claims rose more than expected, taking a bit of shine off the Greenback, but markets are largely in wait-and-see mode ahead of Friday’s US CPI release.

GBP/USD sticks to the bid bias, still below 1.3700

GBP/USD is trading with decent gains around 1.3650 on Thursday. Indeed, Cable is attempting to shake off the weakness seen earlier in the week amid another choppy session for the Greenback, while a run of disappointing UK data has so far failed to derail the pair’s tentative recovery.
