Eurozone: Manufacturing recovery faces energy risks – ABN AMRO

FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

ABN AMRO expects Eurozone and German industrial production to rebound, helped by recovering domestic demand and stronger defence-related activity in Germany. However, it looks for a pullback in German factory orders after late-2025 strength. Overall, the bank judges manufacturing to be on a recovery path, but notes new headwinds from higher energy prices that could temper momentum.

Industrial output seen rebounding cautiously

"Eurozone – Industrial production is likely to have rebounded in Germany and the broader eurozone, reflecting the recent recovery in domestic demand – especially from the defence sector in Germany."

"With that said, factory orders in Germany are likely to register a pullback in January following the surge in orders in the final months of 2025."

"Big picture, the manufacturing sector remains on a recovery path, notwithstanding the new headwinds from higher energy prices."

AUD/USD falls from 0.7050 amid Iran uncertainty

AUD/USD is back in the red, falling from 0.7050 in the Asian session on Friday, reversing the previous day's goodish rebound from a nearly two-month low amid a modest US Dollar uptick. Iran downplayed Trump's claim that a deal has been approved and said that key issues, including the Strait of Hormuz and frozen funds, remain unresolved. This keeps a lid on optimism, which, along with Fed rate-hike bets, revives USD demand and weighs on the pair.

USD/JPY recovers above 160.00 as Mideast woes persist ahead of BoJ

USD/JPY recovers ground above 160.00 in the Asian session on Friday. Economic risks due to uncertainty in the Middle East undermine the Japanese Yen, while lifting the safe-haven US Dollar (USD) amid the US-Iran standoff. This acts as a tailwind for the pair, though fears of intervention could limit deeper JPY losses and cap the pair's rebound ahead of the BoJ meeting next week.

Gold: Downside risks remain intact amid a Bear Cross

Gold returns to the red in Asia on Friday, following a temporary short-covering rally above $4,200 seen a day ago. The bright metal is set to book a second consecutive weekly loss, having tested the year-to-date lows near the $4,000 threshold earlier in the week.
