EUR/USD Hits Highest Level in Over Three Years


This morning, the euro surged above the 1.3000 mark against the US dollar for the first time since February 2022.

Throughout this week, the EUR/USD pair has broken through the highs of both 2023 and 2024.

Why Is EUR/USD Rising?

Amid the whirlwind of news surrounding the imposition and suspension of tariffs in US–EU trade, one dominant factor stands out — the sell-off of US bonds.

According to Reuters, long-term US Treasury bonds are being heavily sold this week. The yield on 10-year notes has jumped from 3.9% to around 4.4%, marking the steepest increase in yields since 2001. This may reflect a reaction by foreign holders of US debt to sanctions imposed by the White House, combined with growing uncertainty about the US economy — especially as recession fears gain more media attention.

As a result, the US dollar is showing weakness against a range of currencies, including the Japanese yen, Swiss franc, and the euro.

Gold Price Surpasses $3,200 for the First Time in History


According to the XAU/USD chart today, the price of an ounce of gold is fluctuating above the $3,200 level on global exchanges — a level never reached before.

Since the beginning of 2025, gold has gained approximately 22%.

Why Is Gold Rising Today?

Today’s bullish momentum in the gold market is driven by two key factors.

First, inflation data. Figures released yesterday for the CPI (Consumer Price Index) revealed a slowdown in inflation in the United States. This suggests a greater likelihood of monetary policy easing by the Federal Reserve. According to Reuters, gold prices now reflect expectations of three interest rate cuts by the end of 2025 — and lower rates typically support a stronger XAU/USD.

Second, fears of a global recession. Although US President Donald Trump has introduced a 90-day delay on the implementation of international trade tariffs, this does not apply to China, where tariffs have been increased to a striking 145%. Traders fear that Beijing could retaliate by raising tariffs on US goods beyond the current 84%.

Five of the Best Volume Indicators


Understanding volume and volume indicators is crucial for anyone looking to understand the financial markets. This article offers traders insights into the five of the best volume indicators, allowing them to gauge market trends, momentum, and potential reversals.

Understanding Volume and Volume Indicators in Trading

In trading, volume refers to the quantity of a financial instrument, such as shares or contracts, that are bought and sold within a specified time frame. Often displayed as a bar graph beneath the price chart, volume shows traders the strength or weakness of price movements. A surge in volume generally indicates strong interest, which can validate a trend, while low volume might signify a lack of conviction or impending reversal.

Volume indicators are computational tools designed to assess volume data. They work alongside traditional price indicators to offer a fuller understanding of market behaviour. They can help traders identify changes in momentum and shifts in market sentiment, acting as a secondary measure to confirm signals from price action.

Tesla (TSLA) Shares Jump Approximately 22% in a Single Day


Tesla was among the standout performers in the stock market rally that followed President Trump’s decision to delay, by 90 days, the implementation of new international trade tariffs — with the notable exception of China. According to the charts, Tesla (TSLA) shares surged by approximately 22%.

Why Did TSLA Shares Soar?
Some insight comes from Cathie Wood, CEO of asset management firm ARK Invest.

In an interview with Barron’s on Wednesday, she noted the following:

→ Tesla plans to launch a new, more affordable vehicle this quarter, likely priced at around $30,000 — roughly half the cost of the base Model Y.
→ The upcoming release of Tesla’s robotaxi service could also lower the need for large upfront vehicle purchases, offering consumers a more economical alternative.
→ Tesla sources more components from North America than most other US carmakers, meaning it is less exposed to tariff-related costs.

And there’s another reason TSLA may have jumped — one that can be found in the chart.

Trump Delays Tariffs for 90 Days. The S&P 500 Rebounds Sharply


As shown in the chart of the S&P 500 (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen), the index is currently trading near the 5,500 level.

This result is highly encouraging, considering that as recently as yesterday morning, the index was hovering around 4,900.

Why Have Stocks Risen?
The strong rebound seen yesterday evening was triggered by a statement from the US President — he announced a 90-day delay in the implementation of wide-ranging global trade tariffs, which had originally been unveiled on 2 April and led to a sharp drop in the index (as indicated by the arrow).

However, this does not apply to China, for which tariffs were not delayed but increased. "Due to the lack of respect China has shown towards global markets, I am raising the tariff imposed on China by the United States of America to 125%, effective immediately," said Donald Trump, according to media reports.

Overall, US stock markets responded positively to the news, and Goldman Sachs economists have withdrawn their US recession forecasts.

European Currencies Test Recent Extremes Ahead of US Inflation Data


Against the backdrop of yesterday’s announcement of a 90-day pause on previously imposed tariffs by the Trump administration, volatility in the currency markets has sharply increased again. European currencies, such as the Swiss franc, euro, and pound, continue to test recent extremes, awaiting the release of inflation data from the US.

The events of this week are heightening uncertainty among investors, who are striving to adapt to new economic conditions. The introduction of the tariff pause came as an unexpected move, which temporarily eased tensions in the global markets. However, it remains unclear how this will affect the long-term prospects for currency pairs such as EUR/USD and GBP/USD.

In the face of instability, market participants continue to seek ways to minimise risks and protect their investments. Today's core consumer price index (CPI) data may provide further clues about the impact of Trump’s tariff policy on the US economy and, in general, on the currency markets.

EUR/USD
Last week, buyers of the EUR/USD pair managed to break through a series of key resistances at 1.1100–1.1000 and recorded the highest level of the year at 1.1145. Following news of tariffs being imposed on the European Union, the pair lost over 200 pips and tested an important range of 1.0900–1.0870. Yesterday, there was a resumption of the upward momentum, and the pair tested recent extremes again at 1.1100. Technical analysis of EUR/USD suggests potential strengthening of the pair towards 1.1145, provided it can settle above 1.1000. A drop below 1.0870 could lead to a retest of 1.0800.

Understanding the Global Financial Markets: Insights and Strategies


Why is finance interesting? It's the lifeblood of the global economy, affecting everything from individual well-being to the rise and fall of nations. This article delves into the intricate world of global financial markets, offering insights into their types, key players, market forces, strategies, regulations, challenges, and opportunities.

What Are Financial Markets?

Financial markets act as crucial platforms where buyers and sellers engage in the trade of assets such as stocks, bonds, currencies, and commodities. In discussing "What is a financial market?" the answer includes a wide range of exchanges and over-the-counter markets. Simply put, the financial market definition can be summarised as a marketplace for creating and exchanging financial assets.

Defence Stocks Rise After Trump's Decision


As shown in the charts, despite predominantly bearish sentiment in the stock market yesterday — with the difference between the opening and closing price for the S&P 500 index (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen) being down by 4% — defence company stocks showed growth.

According to the WSJ, Palantir Technologies shares rose by 8% to $84.05 on Tuesday, while General Dynamics and Boeing increased by 5% to $260.12 and $145.365 respectively. Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin gained about 4% each.

Why Did Lockheed Martin (LMT) Shares Rise?

This occurred after President Trump announced that the defence budget for the 2026 fiscal year would be around $1 trillion, and Defence Secretary Pete Hegset published his announcement about the budget on X (formerly Twitter).

The increase in the defence budget by approximately $50-100 billion contrasts with previous statements from US leadership in February, when:

→ Trump said that "we have no reason to spend almost a trillion dollars on the military";

→ Hegset suggested annually cutting the defence budget by 8% — or around $50 billion — over the next five years.

Such statements had been putting pressure on the price of LMT stock in 2025.

Brent Crude Price Continues to Fall


Today, the price of Brent crude has dropped below $60 per barrel, marking its lowest level since March 2021. As shown on the XBR/USD chart, from the start of 2025, the price saw a rise of around 2.6% at the end of March 2025.

Why is oil falling?

The key driver is the escalation of the trade war. Yesterday, the US President announced the imposition of additional tariffs on trade with China, bringing the total to 104%.

The decline in Brent prices seems to reflect traders' concerns about the risks of a global recession.

Oil price forecasts for 2025 and 2026

Yesterday, analysts at Goldman Sachs released their oil price forecasts for Brent and WTI crude. They expect prices to reach $62 per barrel for Brent and $58 for WTI by December 2025. By December 2026, they anticipate a further decline to $55 and $51, respectively. However, analysts caveat that these forecasts are based on the assumption that the US will avoid a recession and that OPEC+ countries will increase their supplies.

In the event of a global economic slowdown, Brent prices could drop to $40 by the end of 2026.

Commodity Currencies Drop Under Pressure from Tariff Policy


Last week, the Trump administration announced the introduction of import tariffs on various countries, including 20% on the EU and 34% on China, further intensifying uncertainty in the currency markets. These measures continue a broader tariff policy aimed at protecting American manufacturers. As expected, the move contributed to increased volatility in major currency pairs such as EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, and others.

The White House's actions triggered sharp losses across equity and commodity markets, raising concerns among investors looking to minimise risks in an unstable environment. The imposition of tariffs has also had a notable impact on commodity-linked currencies, such as the Australian dollar, which is traditionally sensitive to shifts in global trade due to Australia's dependence on raw material exports.

Amid global economic instability, market participants are focusing on how these developments will affect the global economy and the performance of commodity currencies.

AUD/USD


News of retaliatory tariffs from China prompted a sharp fall in AUD/USD. The pair has lost over 200 pips since the start of this week and broke a key support level at 0.6900 yesterday. Should tensions escalate further, the pair may continue its decline toward the 2020 lows around 0.5790–0.5700. A corrective upward move following such a steep drop could reach the 0.6130–0.6090 zone.

Trading Strategies with Bollinger Bands


The Bollinger Bands indicator has emerged as a versatile tool used by traders to gain an edge in various markets, including forex. This article explores several relevant trading strategies that can help you navigate dynamic market conditions, offering insights into entry and exit points, risk management, and profit-taking opportunities.

What Is the Bollinger Bands Indicator?

The Bollinger Bands indicator is a volatility tool. Developed by John Bollinger, this indicator consists of three primary lines: a middle band, typically a 20-period Simple Moving Average (SMA), and an upper band and lower band, both of which are positioned at a standard deviation distance above and below the middle one. These lines dynamically adjust to market volatility, expanding during periods of heightened price movement and contracting during calmer phases.

Nike (NKE) Share Price Falls to Lowest Level Since 2017


The chart for Nike (NKE) shows that the share price has dropped to around $55 – levels last seen in November 2017.

Since the start of 2025, the stock has declined by approximately 27%.

Why Has Nike’s Share Price Dropped?

As noted in our analysis from September 2024, Nike shares had been trending downward for several months due to intense competition. However, President Trump’s tariffs have become the dominant bearish factor.

This is largely because Nike relies heavily on manufacturing operations in Asia – many of which have been directly affected by the newly imposed tariffs.

What’s Next?
According to the Wall Street Journal, manufacturers are taking a wait-and-see approach. They’re reluctant to shift production out of Asia, which could mean higher prices for American consumers. A full return to U.S. production is unlikely due to:

→ a shortage of skilled workers and suppliers;
→ significantly higher wages in the U.S. compared to Asia;
→ relocating production from Asia is a complex business migration, not just a factory move – a process many companies might not be prepared for.

Some firms are reducing their margins or optimising logistics, but most are hoping to weather the storm or delay major changes.

Hang Seng Index Plunges by Around 13%


Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index (Hong Kong 50 on FXOpen) tumbled by over 13% as trading resumed after the weekend with a sharp bearish gap.

According to media reports, this marked the biggest single-day drop since the 1997 Asian financial crisis.

Hang Seng Index Chart
In our analysis of the upward trend on the Hang Seng (Hong Kong 50 on FXOpen) chart a month ago, we noted that:
→ investor enthusiasm around artificial intelligence was still fuelling the rally;
→ however, the price appeared vulnerable to a correction.

We also highlighted that the outlook would largely depend on the fundamental backdrop, particularly the tariff standoff between China and the United States.
