The U.S. dollar has managed to regain some ground in the short term after several sessions of gains in EUR/USD. Currently, the pair is showing a downward move of just over 1%, following the NFP report, which showed 228,000 new jobs versus the 137,000 expected. This has slightly increased demand for the U.S. dollar in recent hours, as the market anticipates the...
Today’s NFP report was NEVER going to take much attention away from the trade war – and so it has proved with mixed readings. US rates were being priced lower amid deteriorating trade war risks, which remains the main focal point. Powell is up next, while CPI, PPI and UoM surveys all on tap next week.
The nonfarm payrolls data beat expectations, with a headline...
The S&P 500 (SPX) continues to show a strong bearish bias and is approaching the 5,300-point level in the short term. Selling pressure remains steady as post-“Liberation Day” uncertainty persists, with markets concerned that the recently announced tariffs could significantly impact the U.S. economic outlook. As a result, this could severely limit the...
U.S. 10-year Treasuries are a crucial cog in the global financial machine, serving as a benchmark borrowing rate, a tool for asset valuation, and a gauge of the longer-term outlook for U.S. economic growth and inflation.
As such, I keep a close eye on 10-year note futures, as they can offer clues on directional risks for bond prices and yields. The price action...

The euro is attempting to build bullish momentum against the U.S. dollar, but the pair remains capped by key resistance at 1.0940. Today’s bounce to 1.0852 (+0.55%) keeps the pair above both the 200-day (1.0732) and 50-day (1.0603) SMAs, suggesting the broader structure has turned constructive.
🔹 MACD is flat, showing waning upside momentum.
🔹 RSI is trending...
The recent rebound in USD/MXN appears to be stalling ahead of the March high (20.9997) as it fails to extend the series of higher highs and lows carried over from last week.
In turn, USD/MXN may consolidate over the coming days as it holds below the weekly high (20.5430), and a close below 20.3200 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement) may push the exchange rate towards...
Volatility was again the name of the game in equity markets as investors braced for President Donald Trump’s impending tariff announcement, which promises to reshape global trade dynamics. With uncertainty swirling around the scope and impact of his so-called reciprocal tariffs, there remains little consensus on how markets will react as the final deliberations...
With uncertainty surrounding U.S. trade policy about to be resolved and price signals turning bullish, the ingredients for a squeeze in Russell 2000 futures are now in place.
Unlike other stock indices with far larger constituents, U.S. small caps have lagged this week’s rebound—potentially due to recession concerns, which wouldn’t help unprofitable cyclical...
Since touching the key support level at $67 , WTI crude oil has posted a notable recovery of more than 7% in recent weeks, and is now hovering slightly above the $70 per barrel mark. For now, the bullish bias remains intact as comments from the White House suggest potential tariffs ranging from 25% to 50% on countries that choose to trade Russian oil. According...
The CADJPY rebounded alongside risk assets, but its now testing key resistance at 104.50, where the recovery might falter.
This level was prior support and resistance, and where the 21-day exponential moving average comes into play.
Given an overall bearish structure, I wouldn't be surprised if the selling resumes here.
By Fawad Razaqzada, market analyst with...
The Kiwi is clinging to uptrend support within a broader rising wedge, with selling pressure reemerging at .5680 despite Monday’s late recovery.
A clean break below the uptrend could see bears target .5650, the low from Monday. A move through that level would put .5600 in focus as the next downside target.
Momentum signals reinforce the bearish case—RSI (14) and...
The Nasdaq has been one of the indices showing the strongest selling bias in recent sessions. Over the past four trading days, it has fallen by more than 7% , as the market remains gripped by uncertainty surrounding White House trade policies and the threat of a new trade war.

Gold continues to find support amid haven flows as equities tumble on trade war concerns.
But how much further can gold rise?
Well I think a lot of people had $3K+ pencilled in as their target. We are obviously well above the $3K level now at $3085, which may trigger some profit taking.
While dip buyers are lurking, a rug pull is becoming increasingly likely...
Traders should be alert to the risk of a resumption of the bullish trend in EUR/AUD.
It’s been coiling within a falling wedge for much of March, with the price rebound over the past two sessions leaving the pair testing downtrend resistance.
A bullish wedge break would put 1.7272 on the radar. If that were to give way it would open the door for a run towards the...
