The shared currency registers minimal losses of 0.13% versus the US Dollar as EUR/USD fails to surpass 1.1700, exacerbating the drop towards the 1.1660 area, despite retaining its current neutral-to-upward bias.

EUR/USD Price Forecast: Technical Outlook

The EUR/USD is poised to consolidate further, as price action has failed to extend the market structure of higher highs and higher lows. Momentum shifted bullish, as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) shifted overbought, an indication that bulls are in charge.

However, the path of least resistance for EUR/USD is for it to continue trading sideways.

For a bullish resumption, the first resistance for EUR/USD is 1.1700. A breach of the latter will expose the 1.1750 psychological level, followed by the May 6 high at 1.1795, ahead of 1.1800. On further strength, the next stop is the April 17 swing high of 1.1849.

On the downside, if EUR/USD dives below 1.1650, the next area of interest would become the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 1.1631. Below this level lies the 1.1600 mark, followed by the 100-day SMA at 1.1574 and by 1.1500.

AUD/USD bulls seem hesitant above 0.6950 amid Mideast jitters

AUD/USD struggles to capitalize on the previous day's bounce from the weekly low, consolidating above mid-0.6900s during the Asian session on Friday. The overnight pullback in US bond yields keeps the US Dollar below an 18-month high, which in turn offers some support to the pair. However, geopolitical risks and a hawkish Fed limit deeper losses for the safe-haven buck, capping spot prices amid receding RBA rate hike bets.

USD/JPY retakes 158.00 after Japan's weak Household Spending data

USD/JPY reclaims 158.00 after data showed on Friday that Japan's Household Spending fell for the ninth straight month, undermining the Japanese Yen. Meanwhile, the US Dollar remains depressed as the overnight fall in US bond yields counters a hawkish Fed and geopolitical uncertainties. This, along with BoJ rate-hike bets and intervention fears, limits JPY losses and keeps the pair confined in a familiar range.

Gold extends range play around $4,150 as bullish USD undertone caps gains

Gold trades with a positive bias for the second straight day on Friday, though it lacks bullish conviction and remains confined in a range held over the past two weeks or so. The overnight decline in US bond yields keeps the US Dollar depressed below an 18-month high, allowing the non-yielding bullion to recover further from a two-month low. However, the Fed's hawkish outlook and Iran risks favor USD bulls, capping the commodity.

Ethereum drops below $2,500 as rising Treasury yields trigger selling pressure

Ethereum (ETH) fell below $2,500 on Thursday, down nearly 4% and extending losses for a third consecutive day. The decline follows rising Oil prices and US Treasury yields over the past few days. The 10Y Note Yield reached a 24-year high at 5.35%, and the 30Y Note Yield climbed above 5.70% earlier on the day, sparking major distributions in the crypto market.

The inflation illusion: How government formulas shape the data

Every month, the government releases a barrage of economic statistics. Employment, inflation, consumer spending, economic growth, and countless other measurements are presented as objective facts that policymakers, investors, and the public can use to understand the economy. But what happens when the methodology used to produce those numbers changes?

The UK 30-year gilt just hit a 1998 high. Is that good or bad for the British Pound?

The yield on the UK's 30-year government bond, or gilt, went through 6% on October 1 for the first time since early 1998, and on Monday the Pound was at its strongest against the Euro since June 2025. The gilt market's 28-year high is mostly someone else's. Since early May, the 30-year gilt yield has risen about 0.15 of a percentage point and the US 30-year about 0.7.
