EUR/USD weekly chart

EUR/USD is one of the best-performing currencies on Monday as the pair moves over 0.60% higher. In general, the euro is having a great day as EUR/JPY rises 0.86% and EUR/NZD pushes 0.74%. The single currency is the pick of the bunch as Brexit woes hit the pound and the US continues to deal with the coronavirus pandemic. Risk sentiment is also important as there were large inflows into the greenback during the initial COVID-19 panic.

Looking at the chart below the price has now conclusively broken above the 200 weekly Simple Moving Average. This is not the first time as you can see some of the shadows (wicks) have penetrated the resistance only to fall back below. Obviously we will have to wait till the end of the week to see if the bulls can sustain this momentum but the signs are good at present.

Another key feature on the chart it the price breaking the trendline which has been in place since the peak back in February 2018. The trendline has been tested twice but once again the bulls could not manage to keep hold of the area and the subsequent move took the price below the resistance. There is also some bullishness in the indicators. The MACD histogram is green and the signal lines have crossed the mid-point. While the Relative Strength Index is now holding pretty nicely above the 50 area.

AUD/USD bulls seem hesitant near 0.6950

AUD/USD attracts some buyers for the second straight day, though it remains confined within Friday's broader range amid mixed cues. The US PCE data and the US NFP report released last week tempered October Fed hike bets, dragging US bond yields away from multi-year highs and keeping US Dollar bulls on the back foot. However, geopolitical uncertainty is a tailwind for the safe-haven buck, while the RBA's cautious outlook caps the Aussie.

USD/JPY remains confined in a range below 158.00

USD/JPY holds steady around 157.75 during the Asian session on Monday, trading within a one-week-old range. Against the backdrop of soft US PCE data, the US NFP report, released on Friday, tempers October Fed rate-hike bets and drags US bond yields away from multi-year highs. Furthermore, hawkish BoJ expectations amid looming intervention risks support the Japanese Yen, capping the pair. However, geopolitical uncertainty acts as a tailwind for the safe-haven buck and limits the downside.

Gold trades with positive bias around $4,150; upside seems capped

Gold attracts some dip-buyers at the start of a new week, though it remains confined in a familiar range held over the past week or so. Against the backdrop of soft US PCE data, Friday's weak US NFP report tempered bets of an October Fed rate hike. This, in turn, drags US bond yields away from multi-year highs and benefits the non-yielding bullion. The US Dollar, however, draws support from geopolitical uncertainties and could act as a headwind for the precious metal.

Week ahead: Fed minutes in the spotlight amid bond market rout

The first full week of October and the final quarter of the year get underway with little fanfare in terms of the economic agenda. But far from being short on excitement, the coming week will test market nerves, as government bond yields continue to soar on growing worries that the energy crisis will only get worse, fuelling inflation.

CFTC Report: Speculators turn more defensive as Oil exposure falls

The week in one sentence: During the week leading up to September 29, long positions in crude oil were significantly reduced, while short positions in the Canadian Dollar went up. In addition, the positioning of the Australian Dollar and the Japanese Yen declined, while Coffee buying stood out against a more general background of defensiveness.

The Euro is near a one-year low: Inflation could trigger its rebound, not its fall

EUR/USD has fallen to its lowest level since May 2025. The pair hit 1.1312 on Wednesday and trades well below the January peak of 1.2082. The decline reflects a powerful combination of US Dollar strength, geopolitical uncertainty and renewed concerns about Europe's exposure to higher energy prices.
