The EUR/USD pair is seen building on Friday's late recovery from the 1.1750-1.1740 region, or a nearly one-month trough, and gaining some follow-through positive traction at the start of a new week. The momentum lifts spot prices to the 1.1835 area during the Asian session and is sponsored by a broadly weaker US Dollar (USD).

Despite the judicial setback, US President Donald Trump signaled that his trade agenda remains firmly intact and moved quickly to announce a new 15% tariff framework. The Supreme Court on Friday ruled Trump did not have the authority to impose sweeping reciprocal tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). However, the rapid imposition of tariffs fueled concerns about the potential economic fallout from rising trade tensions. Moreover, a weak US GDP report overshadows hot US inflation data and drags the USD away from a four-week high, acting as a tailwind for the EUR/USD pair for the second straight day.

The first estimate of the fourth-quarter GDP showed that the US economy slowed dramatically at the end of 2025, in part because of the record-long government shutdown. On an annualized basis, the GDP growth decelerated sharply to 1.4% during the October-December period from 4.4% in the third quarter and missed market expectations by a big margin. Meanwhile, the US core Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) Price Index rose 0.4% MoM in January and the yearly rate rose to 3.0%, marking the highest since November 2023. This, in turn, could allow the Fed to keep interest rates on hold at the next policy meeting in March.

That said, traders are still pricing in a greater possibility that the US central bank will lower borrowing costs in June and at least two 25-basis-point (bps) rate cuts in 2026. This further undermines the USD and supports the EUR/USD pair. However, the uncertainty over European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde’s tenure, along with trade-war fears, could act as a headwind for the shared currency. In fact, The European Parliament’s trade chief stated that the European Union (EU) will propose freezing the ratification process of the trade deal with the US until they’ve received details from the Trump administration on its trade policy.

AUD/USD gains traction near 0.7100 as the post-Fed USD rally pauses

AUD/USD finds fresh buyers and retakes 0.7100 in the Asian session on Thursday as the US Dollar pauses its hawkish Fed-inspired rally to its highest level since late July. However, RBA rate-hike bets and hopes for US-Iran diplomatic efforts lift risk sentiment and support the risk-sensitive Australian Dollar and the major.

USD/JPY reverses a dip below 156.00 as focus shifts to BoJ

USD/JPY is reversing a brief dip below 156.00 in the Asian session on Thursday, looking to snap a three-day winning streak to a nearly two-week top set the previous day. The US Dollar pauses following the post-Fed rally to seven-week highs, while a more hawkish repricing of the BoJ's policy normalization path supports the Japanese Yen. This keeps the pair's upside limited, with the focus now shifting to the BoJ policy decision due on Friday.

Gold: Upside appears capped by $4,400

Gold climbs sharply and clinches fresh weekly peaks on Thursday, although the bull run seems to have met some initial hurdle around the $4,400 zone per troy ounce. The yellow metal’s rebound reverses three daily declines in a row and follows the modest retracement in the US Dollar as well as another negative performance of crude oil prices.

BoE recap: A cautious stance amid rising inflation risks

The Bank of England left Bank Rate unchanged at 3.75% but delivered a distinctly hawkish message as its inflation outlook deteriorated sharply.

One hike down, more to come? The Fed’s new rate path says yes

The Federal Reserve (Fed) raised its Fed Fund Target Range (FFTR) range by 25 basis points to 3.75%-4.00% in a unanimous decision, saying the move would support a timelier return to its 2% inflation goal.

How Japan became the World's Banker and why that era may be ending

Japan's ultra-low interest rates helped finance trillions of dollars in global investments for more than a decade, making the Japanese Yen one of the world’s cheapest sources of funding. With the Bank of Japan expected to tighten policy again this week, that advantage may be entering a new phase. While most major economies raised interest rates, Japan remained the world's outlier.
