EUR/USD: US employment and central banks’ leaders take the stage Premium
The EUR/USD pair fell sharply for a second consecutive week, trading as low as 1.1324 before recovering towards the current 1.1410 price zone. The US Dollar Index (DXY) peaked at 101.80, its highest in little over a year, extending the positive momentum triggered by the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) hawkish hold and easing Middle East tensions.
Gold: Sell-off intensifies, putting the $4,000 handle at risk Premium
Gold (XAU/USD) edged higher to start the week before turning south and plunging to its lowest level since November, below $4,000. Although the precious metal managed to find a foothold, it struggled to stage a decisive rebound and ended the week deep in negative territory.
The US economy beat the Iran shock. Can it beat inflation too?
Nearly four months after the start of the Iran war, the US economy remains remarkably resilient. While the conflict initially triggered a severe disruption to global energy markets and a sharp rise in Oil prices, recent diplomatic progress between Washington and Tehran has eased concerns about a prolonged supply shock.
Bitcoin: BTC hits 20-month low, will the pain continue?
Bitcoin (BTC) recovers slightly, trading at $66,000 on Friday after reaching a new yearly low of $58,115 earlier this week, its lowest level since October 2024. Institutional selling intensified as spot Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) recorded $1.35 billion in net outflows through Thursday.
US Dollar: The Dollar's second wind as markets rethink the Fed Premium
Another promising week for the US Dollar (USD). Indeed, the Greenback climbed to levels last seen in early May 2025 near the 102.00 barrier, as measured by the US Dollar Index (DXY). The continuation of the move higher in the buck was propped up by rising bets that the Federal Reserve (Fed) might keep its cautious stance, or even hike rates, later in the year.

INFLUENTIAL INSTITUTIONS AND PEOPLE FOR THE EUR/GBP
The European Central Bank (ECB)
The European Central Bank (ECB) is the central bank empowered to manage monetary policy for the Eurozone. With its beginnings in Germany in 1998, the ECB’s mandate is to maintain price stability in the Eurozone, so that the Euro’s (EUR) purchasing power is not eroded by inflation. As an entity independent of individual European Union countries and institutions, the ECB targets a year-on-year increase in consumer prices of 2% over the medium term. Another of its tasks is controlling the money supply. This involves, for instance, setting interest rates throughout the Eurozone. The European Central Bank’s work is organized via the following decision-making bodies: the Executive Board, the Governing Council and the General Council. Christine Lagarde has been the President of the ECB since November 1, 2019. Her speeches, statements and comments are an important source of volatility, especially for the Euro and the currencies traded against the European currency.
