FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

There has been no increase in either downward or upward momentum; Euro (EUR) is likely to trade in a range of 1.1610/1.1675. In the longer run, EUR is expected to trade in a range between 1.1580 and 1.1745, UOB Group’s FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Peter Chia note.

No increase in either downward or upward momentum

24-HOUR VIEW: "EUR pulled back sharply to a low of 1.1601 two days ago. Yesterday, when EUR was at 1.1630, we stated that 'the sharp decline appears to be running ahead of itself, and EUR is unlikely to weaken much further.' We expected EUR to 'trade in a range of 1.1600/1.1690.' Our

view of range trading was not wrong, even though EUR traded between 1.1599 and 1.1665, a narrower range than we expected. There has been no increase in either downward or upward momentum, and we continue to expect EUR to trade in a range today, probably between 1.1610 and 1.1675."

1-3 WEEKS VIEW: "We continue to hold the same view as yesterday (26 Aug, spot at 1.1630). As highlighted, we expect EUR to trade in a range between 1.1580 and 1.1745 for now."

GBP/USD bulls seem hesitant as Hormuz ship attack supports safe-haven USD

The GBP/USD pair sticks to a positive bias for the second straight day, albeit it remains below the previous day's swing high and trades just below the 1.3200 mark during the Asian session on Friday.

Gold drifts lower as Hormuz risks revive USD demand

Gold struggles to build on the overnight bounce from its lowest level since November 2025 as geopolitical risks stemming from an attack on a cargo vessel in the Strait of Hormuz support the US Dollar. Meanwhile, mostly in-line US inflation data eased bets for Fed rate hikes this year, capping the USD and helping the non-yielding bullion to hold above $4,000 during the Asian session. Nevertheless, the commodity remains on track to record losses for the fourth consecutive week.

Micron prints perfect, and now the chart has to answer

Memory’s biggest name just delivered the cleanest quarter of its life, and the most interesting thing about it is that the stock isn’t sure what to do with it. Micron closed out fiscal Q3 with revenue of $41.5 billion, up 346% on the year, a fifth straight record. Gross margin came in at 84.9%, up from 39% the same quarter a year ago.

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
