EUR/USD: EUR/USD is trading near 1.1770, with traders adopting a cautious stance ahead of December manufacturing PMI data due on Friday. The index is expected to slip from 49.6 to 49.2, signaling a deeper contraction in factory activity and potentially adding pressure to the single currency. Political tensions are also weighing on sentiment. The White House has imposed visa bans on five EU officials, including former European Commissioner Thierry Breton, accusing them of restricting free speech and unfairly targeting U.S. technology companies through excessive regulation. Between 2019-2024, Breton played a central role in drafting the EU’s Digital Services Act, under which Brussels fined X, owned by Elon Musk, €120 million for breaching content moderation rules. The European Commission has condemned the U.S. move and signaled that retaliatory measures remain an option. Against a backdrop of weakening economic indicators and rising political friction, near-term downside risks for the euro persist.

XAU/USD: XAU/USD is trading near $4,515. Gold remains supported by expectations that the Federal Reserve will continue its easing cycle, keeping the US dollar under pressure. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, markets are currently pricing in two Fed rate cuts this year. However, if disinflation persists and the US labor market continues to weaken, the Fed could be forced to deliver more aggressive easing than currently expected. Adding to the bullish case, US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the next Fed Chair will be someone who supports significantly lower interest rates, suggesting that candidates who disagree will be ruled out. Meanwhile, rising geopolitical tensions between the US and Venezuela are also underpinning demand for safe-haven assets, providing additional support for gold.

BUY STOP 4,520 TP 4,600 SL 4,490

AUD/USD: AUD/USD is trading around 0.6710. The pair continues to find support from monetary-policy divergence. Earlier this month, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) kept rates unchanged at 3.60%, noting that inflation may remain persistent and require continued vigilance. RBA Governor Michele Bullock reinforced a hawkish tone at the press conference, pushing back against the idea of near-term rate cuts. Moreover, if inflation fails to cool, the RBA could still be forced to tighten policy further. As a result, the prospect of a more restrictive stance in Australia — against a backdrop of rising expectations for Fed cuts in the US — should remain supportive for AUD/USD.

S&P 500: The S&P 500 index is trading at 6,900. Market sentiment has improved amid growing expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will continue easing monetary policy. In an interview with Bloomberg TV on Monday, Fed Board Member Stephen Miran stated that weak labor market data over the past few months confirms underlying problems in this sector of the U.S. economy. According to him, abandoning policy easing could increase the risk of a recession in the United States. Yesterday, traders focused on U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) data for the third quarter. The economy expanded by 4.3%, up from 3.8% in the second quarter. Analysts believe the situation may worsen in the fourth quarter due to the effects of the government shutdown, although the annual growth rate is expected to remain strong. Given these factors, the S&P 500 index retains its growth potential.

BUY STOP 6910 TP 6970 SL 6890

USD/JPY: The USD/JPY pair is trading at 155.75. The yen’s positive momentum is gaining strength after Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama stated that officials have full freedom of action in response to excessive fluctuations in the national currency. According to her, the current movements in the yen’s exchange rate do not reflect fundamental factors but are instead driven by speculative activity that must be curbed. Investors interpreted these comments as the strongest signal yet of possible government intervention in the currency market. However, experts note that similar measures have been taken in the past, resulting only in short-term strengthening of the yen and failing to address the underlying issues behind its broader weakness. On Thursday, traders will focus on inflation data from Tokyo. If inflation rises again, the yen could receive additional support.
