EUR/JPY Price Analysis: Next decent contention is seen at 146.30

EUR/JPY faces extra selling pressure and flirts with 148.00.
Further decline could put the 146.30 region to the test in the near term

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

EUR/JPY adds to Tuesday’s bearish performance and puts 148.00 to the test on Wednesday.

It seems the bullish outlook now appears somewhat dented. Against that, the cross could initially revisit the weekly low at 147.12 (May 4), while the loss of this level could spark a deeper decline to the weekly low at 146.28 (April 25).

So far, further upside looks favoured while the cross trades above the 200-day SMA, today at 142.90.

GBP/USD rebounds above 1.3300 ahead of UK Retail Sales data

The GBP/USD pair recovers some lost ground to near 1.3325, snapping the five-day losing streak during the Asian trading hours on Friday. However, the potential upside might be limited amid heightened military tensions in the Middle East. Traders brace for the release of the UK Retail Sales data, which will be published later on Friday.

EUR/USD rises as US Dollar weakens despite rising Middle East tensions

EUR/USD gains ground after posting modest losses in the previous day, trading around 1.1380 during the Asian hours on Friday. However, the potential upside for the pair could be limited as the US Dollar may regain strength, largely driven by escalating conflicts in the Middle East that threaten to push crude oil prices higher.

Gold licks wounds near $4,050 on PMI day

Gold licks wounds near $4,050 in Asia on Friday, holding the previous day's heavy losses amid rising expectations of a Fed rate hike, bolstered by energy-driven inflation concerns. Moreover, the US-Iran standoff and US President Donald Trump's new tariffs keep the US Dollar's reserve-currency status alive, which continues to weigh on the bullion ahead of global flash PMIs.

Ethereum: Derivatives interest in ETH improves, but signs of caution remain

Ethereum is hovering slightly below the $1,900 level, down 3% on Thursday following a slight expansion in derivatives interest. The top altcoin's open interest has increased to 14.60 million ETH, marking a 600K ETH increase over the past two days and its highest level since June 7.

Silver's missing crisis trade: Why a war keeps pushing it down

The Strait of Hormuz has closed twice this year, and both times silver fell instead of rallying, because the crisis bid went into the US dollar rather than into metals. Silver trades near $58.77 an ounce as I write this, with the gold-silver ratio around 69.5.

US Dollar mid-year outlook: Exceptional currency, exceptional risks?

The US Dollar enters the second half of 2026 in a markedly different position from a year ago. The King currency has recovered, reflecting persistent US inflation, changing expectations for Fed policy, geopolitical tensions and renewed demand for defensive assets.
