📊 GBP rises despite Powell's hawkish comments The British pound (GBP) gained 0.62% against the U.S. dollar (USD) on Tuesday as the greenback weakened despite the U.S. Federal Reserve's (Fed) hawkish stance on interest rates. 👉 Possible effects for traders Fed Chair Jerome Powell said the U.S. central bank was in no rush to cut its short-term interest rate. In his speech before the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee, Powell said that the view on rates reflected the U.S. economy being 'strong overall', with low unemployment and inflation remaining above the Fed's 2% target. According to Reuters, traders expected such rhetoric, so some may have preferred to exit their long positions in the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) without new bullish surprises. As a result, other major currencies moved higher. Fundamentally, investors still expect the Bank of England (BOE) to pursue a looser monetary policy than the Fed. Markets currently imply a roughly 34% chance of two 25-basis-point rate cuts by the BOE by November 2025 but expect only a single rate cut by the Fed. GBPUSD was relatively unchanged during the Asian and early European trading sessions. Over the next 48 hours, traders should focus on two events. Today, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics will release its monthly Consumer Price Index (CPI) report at 1:30 p.m. UTC. The market expects a 0.3% rise in monthly core inflation and a 3.1% annual increase. If the CPI report reveals higher-than-expected inflation figures, GBPUSD may drop slightly. If the data shows slowing inflation, GBPUSD will likely rise sharply. Furthermore, the U.K. Gross Domestic Production report will be released tomorrow at 7:00 a.m. UTC. This may further increase the GBPUSD volatility, so traders should be careful. Key levels to watch are resistance at 1.25440 and support at 1.23900. 📲 More trading opportunities in our app If the link doesn’t work, try a special one for your country: 🇮🇩ID 🇮🇳IN 🇵🇰PK 🇹🇭TH

📊 Gold breaks above $2,900 on trade war fears and inflation concerns The gold (XAU) price surged by 1.64% on Monday, breaking through the key $2,900 level as safe-haven demand increased after U.S. President Donald Trump introduced new tariffs. 👉 Possible effects for traders The gold (XAU) price surged by 1.64% on Monday, breaking through the key $2,900 level as safe-haven demand increased after U.S. President Donald Trump introduced new tariffs. Trump imposed an additional 25% tariff on all steel and aluminium imports. He also said he would announce reciprocal tariffs on several countries later this week, further fuelling fears of a global trade war. Investors worry that tariffs may exacerbate U.S. inflation and increase geopolitical tensions worldwide. As a result, gold, considered a hedge against inflation and political instability, has been rising almost uninterruptedly for the past two months. 'Obviously, the tariff war is behind the rise; it just reflects more uncertainty and more tension in the global trade situation', said Marex analyst Edward Meir. According to Reuters, bullion has already hit its seventh record high this year, driven by Trump's tariff threats. These threats have fuelled uncertainty over global growth, trade wars, and high inflation, prompting investors to turn to gold as a safe-haven asset. Phillip Streible, chief market strategist at Blue Line Futures, said gold's 45-degree rally since December might create a self-fulfilling prophecy of further price increases, potentially leading it to raise its forecast towards around $3,250 or $3,500. Earlier today, XAUUSD continued to rise during the Asian session but lost some gains during the early European trading hours. 'Spot gold may extend gains into $2,950 to $2,962 per ounce before reversing its uptrend', said Reuters analyst Wang Tao. Today and tomorrow, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell will testify before Congress. Traders should monitor his remarks for future guidance on U.S. monetary policy changes. The testimony will commence at 3:00 p.m. UTC. Also, investors should pay attention to U.S. reports this week: the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the Producer Price Index (PPI). The data may influence the Federal Reserve's (Fed) monetary policy, impacting the U.S. dollar and gold prices. 📲 More trading opportunities in our app If the link doesn’t work, try a special one for your country: 🇮🇩ID 🇮🇳IN 🇵🇰PK 🇹🇭TH

📊 U.S. trade tariffs may slow the eurozone's economic growth On Monday, the euro (EUR) lost 0.2% against the U.S. dollar (USD) due to concerns about the impact of new trade tariffs that the U.S. might impose on the E.U. 👉 Possible effects for traders The U.S. dollar gained on Monday after U.S. President Donald Trump pledged to impose 25% tariffs on all steel and aluminium imports. Apart from increasing the general macroeconomic uncertainty, resulting in higher safe-haven flows into the greenback, trade tariffs also weaken other major currencies. The weakening happened because tariffs disrupt global trade flows, diminish economic growth prospects in affected regions, and potentially trigger retaliatory measures, further exacerbating currency volatility and undermining confidence in those economies. According to Reuters, the U.S. is the second-largest market for E.U. steel exports. Higher tariffs will certainly slow the eurozone's economic growth, potentially prompting the European Central Bank (ECB) to cut interest rates further. Christine Lagarde, ECB President, warned yesterday that tensions in world trade could affect the outlook for inflation in the eurozone, which will most probably return towards 2% this year. EURUSD was relatively unchanged during the Asian and early European trading sessions, trading just below the daily pivot level of 1.03080. Today, traders should monitor Fed Chair Jerome Powell's speech in his two-day testimony before Congress at 3:00 p.m. UTC. If he confirms that inflation remains an issue and sounds hawkish, the EURUSD pair may weaken further. Conversely, the pair may rebound towards 1.03300 on a more dovish stance. 📲 More trading opportunities in our app If the link doesn’t work, try a special one for your country: 🇮🇩ID 🇮🇳IN 🇵🇰PK 🇹🇭TH

📊 Trump's tariffs cast a shadow over the Japanese yen The Japanese yen (JPY) lost 0.39% against the U.S. dollar (USD) on Monday as investors feared Japan would face higher U.S. imports. 👉 Possible effects for traders There is a little bit of catch-up and also this idea that maybe Japan was going to escape the worst of it and now could be hit with the steel and aluminium tariffs,' said Marc Chandler, chief market strategist at Bannockburn Global Forex. On Sunday, Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba expressed optimism that his country could avoid higher U.S. tariffs. He said that Donald Trump had 'recognised' Japan's huge investment in the U.S. and the American jobs it creates. USDJPY has been in a downtrend since mid-January as the Bank of Japan (BOJ) embarked on a tightening campaign and raised its short-term interest rates towards a multi-year high. However, the threat of new tariffs may potentially reverse the trend. USDJPY was relatively unchanged during the Asian and early European trading sessions, moving below the 200-day moving average of 152.750. Today, traders should watch Fed Chair Jerome Powell's speech as he begins his two-day testimony before Congress at 3:00 p.m. UTC. If he confirms that inflation remains an issue and sounds hawkish, USDJPY's rebound may extend towards 152.800. Conversely, USDJPY may fall below 151.000 on more dovish statements. 'I think Powell is going to tell Congress the same thing basically he told everybody else, with the economy still in a good place, and that is above-trend growth, that the Fed has time. The Fed can be patient while the restrictive monetary policy helps bring inflation back down to target over time', said Marc Chandler, chief market strategist at Bannockburn Global Forex in New York. 📲 More trading opportunities in our app If the link doesn’t work, try a special one for your country: 🇮🇩ID 🇮🇳IN 🇵🇰PK 🇹🇭TH

📊 Gold's six-week rally continues amid geopolitical uncertainty The gold (XAU) price rose by 0.14% on Friday but failed to hold above the important $2,870 level. 👉 Possible effects for traders XAUUSD has been rising for six consecutive weeks as investors bought safe-haven assets amid escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and China. 'Central focus of the gold market continues to be the uncertainty in regard to the Trump tariff policies', said David Meger, director of metals trading at High Ridge Futures. Last week, U.S. President Donald Trump imposed new duties on China but granted Mexico and Canada a one-month reprieve. Still, political and financial uncertainty remains high as markets suspect the U.S. may soon introduce new tariffs on China and Europe. Furthermore, the U.S. nonfarm payroll (NFP) report came out weaker than expected last Friday, slightly increasing the chances for more Federal Reserve (Fed) rate cuts this year. Thus, investors feel no urgency to sell the bullion. On the contrary, dips will likely be bought as XAUUSD continues to trade in a very strong uptrend. Earlier today, XAUUSD rose during the Asian and early European trading sessions. Today's macroeconomic calendar doesn't feature major news releases that could provoke a strong move in XAUUSD. Traders should monitor any new developments around U.S.–China trade discussions and news on the prospect of Russia-Ukraine peace negotiations. Easing of tensions may trigger a sharp sell-off in XAUUSD. 'Spot gold may break resistance at $2,883 per ounce and rise to $2,901', said Reuters analyst Wang Tao. 📲 More trading opportunities in our app If the link doesn’t work, try a special one for your country: 🇮🇩ID 🇮🇳IN 🇵🇰PK 🇹🇭TH

📊 Mixed NFP, Trump's tariffs, and weak German data put pressure on the euro The euro (EUR) lost 0.52% against the U.S. dollar (USD) on Friday as the greenback moved higher despite mixed nonfarm payroll (NFP) data. 👉 Possible effects for traders The report showed U.S. job growth slowed more than expected in January after robust gains in the prior two months. Still, the unemployment rate declined towards just 4%, probably making the Federal Reserve (Fed) less likely to cut interest rates until June. 'There is still much to like about the U.S. labour market's resilience and sustainability. This report cements the view that the Fed could be on hold for a considerable time before cutting rates again', said Scott Anderson, chief U.S. economist at BMO Capital Markets. Thus, investors' still hawkish view of the Fed supports the greenback. Additionally, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that he plans to introduce reciprocal tariffs on many countries this week without specifying which ones. His comments additionally boosted the U.S. dollar. EURUSD has weakened substantially this year due to Trump's various tariff announcements. However, the bearish sentiment surrounding the EURUSD extends beyond trade tensions. The eurozone economy struggles with sluggish growth, rising inflationary pressures, and lingering structural issues that cast a shadow over the currency's prospects. Friday's data showed that German industrial production — the largest eurozone economy — declined by another 2.4% in December. Earlier today, EURUSD rose during the Asian and early European trading sessions. The only notable event that could potentially move the pair today is the speech by European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde, due at 2:00 p.m. UTC. She might offer some forward guidance on future ECB monetary policy changes. 📲 More trading opportunities in our app If the link doesn’t work, try a special one for your country: 🇮🇩ID 🇮🇳IN 🇵🇰PK 🇹🇭TH
