FUNDAMENTAL
OVERVIEWUSD:The US Dollar weakened
across the board on Friday after the US Supreme Court struck down Trump’s
reciprocal tariffs. The policy uncertainty is what is likely to have weighed on
the greenback because on net, not much has changed. Trump has already imposed
new tariffs under a different law and USTR Greer has stated that the tariff
deals remain in place and they will be honoured. Moreover, the new levies
actually reduce the effective average tariff rate, so it could be a positive. The dollar might stay on
the backfoot for now amid the uncertainty, but I don’t think the big picture
has changed much. The real risks remain a potential US-Iran military escalation
which could boost the greenback on severe risk-off mood or a hawkish repricing
on stronger US data which would have a positive effect on the USD.EUR:On the EUR side, nothing
has changed. As a reminder, the ECB held interest rates steady as widely
expected at the last meeting and kept the same data-dependent and
meeting-by-meeting guidance. The policymakers have eased the rhetoric on the
euro recently after the currency dropped below the 1.20 level against the
dollar. The focus remains on
inflation as the central bank has repeatedly stated that it won’t respond to
small or short-term deviations from the 2% target. The data for now has been
positive with economic activity picking up and core inflation hovering just a
bit above target.EURUSD TECHNICAL
ANALYSIS – DAILY TIMEFRAMEOn the daily chart, we can
see that EURUSD fell into a new monthly low
last week but eventually bounced back following the US Supreme Court decision.
There’s not much we can glean from this timeframe, so we need to zoom in to see
some more details.EURUSD TECHNICAL
ANALYSIS – 4 HOUR TIMEFRAMEOn the 4 hour chart, we can
see the price broke above the downward trendline that was defining the bearish
momentum. The price is now retesting the broken trendline where we have also a
support zone around the 1.1805 level. This is where we can expect the buyers to
step in with a defined risk below the support to position for a rally into the
1.1927 level. The sellers, on the other hand, will look for a break lower to
pile in for a drop into the 1.17 handle next.EURUSD TECHNICAL ANALYSIS –
1 HOUR TIMEFRAMEOn the 1 hour chart, there’s not much else we can add here as the buyers
will look for a bounce around the support, while the sellers will look for a
break lower. The red line define the average daily range for today. UPCOMING CATALYSTSTomorrow we have the weekly US ADP jobs data. On Thursday, we get the latest US
Jobless Claims figures. On Friday, we conclude the week with the German CPI and
the US PPI data. Also, keep watching out for US-Iran headlines.

đź’ˇ DMK Insight
The US Dollar’s recent weakness signals a shift in market sentiment, and here’s why that matters: The Supreme Court’s decision to strike down Trump’s reciprocal tariffs introduces a layer of policy uncertainty that traders need to navigate. While the immediate impact seems minimal—given that new tariffs are still in place under different legislation—the broader implications could lead to volatility in the forex market. Traders should keep an eye on the USD’s performance against major currencies, particularly the Euro and Yen, as any further shifts in trade policy could amplify this weakness. If the Dollar continues to falter, it could trigger a bullish sentiment in commodities like gold, which often moves inversely to the Dollar. On the flip side, this could present a buying opportunity for those looking to short the Dollar, especially if it breaks below key support levels. Watch for the USD to test its recent lows; a decisive break could lead to further declines. Keep an eye on upcoming economic data releases that might influence the Fed’s stance, as any dovish signals could exacerbate the Dollar’s decline.
đź“® Takeaway
Monitor the USD closely; a break below key support levels could trigger further weakness, impacting related assets like gold and major currency pairs.
