EUR/USD Price Analysis: Rising bets for a drop to 0.9630

EUR/USD fades part of the post-CPI sharp upside on Friday.
Next on the downside now comes the weekly low near 0.9630.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

EUR/USD gives aways most of its recent advance to the area just above the 0.9800 mark at the end of the week.

The continuation of the pullback appears on the cards and carries the potential to challenge the recent weekly low at 0.9631 (October 13) in the short-term horizon.

In the longer run, the pair’s bearish view should remain unaltered while below the 200-day SMA at 1.0576.

AUD/USD flatlines near 0.6965 as less hawkish RBA counters USD weakness

AUD/USD holds steady above a two-week low, trading near 0.6965 in the Asian session on Wednesday as early midterm election results heighten political uncertainty and weigh heavily on the US Dollar. Moreover, reviving safe-haven demand triggers a fresh leg down in US bond yields, offsetting Fed hike bets and exerting additional pressure on the buck. However, a less hawkish RBA caps the Aussie.

USD/JPY declines below 158.00 as USD weakens on midterm election results

USD/JPY comes under heavy selling pressure on Wednesday, dropping below 158.00 during the Asian session as the US Dollar slumps to a one-month low amid heightened political uncertainty after early US midterm vote counts. Moreover, the prospect of gridlock in Washington drives safe-haven flows, triggering a fresh leg down in US bond yields and further weighing on the buck.

Gold reclaims $4,000 and above

Gold manages to regain some composure, leaving behind two consecutive daily pullbacks and reclaiming the area above the key $4,000 mark per troy ounce on Wednesday. The strong decline in the US Dollar, declining US Treasury yields and lower crude oil price all contributes to the yellow metal’s recovery.

US midterms 2026: Investor Q&A on the Democratic sweep

But it cannot simply reverse the president's entire economic agenda. Executive powers, existing legislation and presidential vetoes remain important. 2. AI faces a higher hurdle, not an extinction event.

The 2% inflation target came from a throwaway remark. It now moves trillions

The Federal Reserve's 2% inflation goal grew out of an off-the-cuff remark by a New Zealand politician in 1988. Bond investors still price long-term US debt as if 2% holds, so a change in how the Fed measures inflation would move markets.
