Consolidation Ahead of NFP: Commodity Currencies Search for Direction


Commodity-linked currencies have entered a consolidation phase following recent directional moves, as market participants adopt a wait-and-see approach ahead of key US labour market data. Current price action reflects a balance between ongoing demand for the US dollar and attempts at a corrective rebound amid an uncertain fundamental backdrop.

Geopolitical tensions remain an additional factor influencing the market, sustaining elevated uncertainty and increasing volatility across commodity assets. Fluctuations in energy prices continue to affect commodity currencies, limiting the development of sustained trends and making market direction increasingly dependent on incoming macroeconomic data.

Traders have also taken note of yesterday's remarks by Donald Trump, which included signals of potential shifts in foreign economic policy and approaches to international relations. Additional comments regarding a willingness to intensify pressure on Iran in the coming weeks have further raised geopolitical uncertainty. While the immediate market reaction has been relatively muted, such rhetoric increases the likelihood of renewed demand for the US dollar as a safe-haven asset, particularly if accompanied by strong US macroeconomic data.

Investor focus now turns to the upcoming US employment report. Key releases include Non-Farm Payrolls, the unemployment rate, and wage growth figures, all of which traditionally have a significant impact on currency markets. Strong data could revive bullish momentum in the dollar, while weaker figures may reinforce corrective sentiment and put additional pressure on the US currency.

The Real Driver Behind the Dollar Rally: Market Insights with Gary Thomson


The US dollar has been firm, but the drivers behind the move may be more complex than they first appear.

While geopolitical tension and shifts in risk sentiment play a role, current price behaviour seems increasingly influenced by inflation expectations and yields. As oil prices move higher, markets reassess the outlook for inflation and interest rates, which continues to support the dollar.

This video explores the underlying macro dynamics and why the current environment may be more conditional than it seems.

EUR/USD and USD/CHF Pull Back: Market Reacts to Fundamentals


European currencies have shown a recovery in recent trading sessions after their recent decline, displaying early signs of a reversal. The US dollar is weakening amid expectations surrounding upcoming US macroeconomic data, while market participants are reassessing their short-term positions and allowing for a deeper corrective move in the greenback. At the same time, the risk of renewed demand for the dollar remains in place should geopolitical tensions escalate further, a factor that is already being partly priced in.

Additional support for the euro and the Swiss franc has come from a reduced demand for the US dollar as a safe-haven asset. Earlier, geopolitical tensions had boosted demand for the dollar; however, recent comments from Donald Trump regarding the possibility of new strikes on Iran in the coming weeks have once again increased uncertainty and may revive interest in the dollar as a defensive asset.

Investors are also focused on upcoming US macroeconomic releases, including labour market and trade data. These figures may reveal early signs of economic cooling, potentially adding pressure on the dollar. At the same time, a combination of strong data and rising geopolitical risks could restore solid demand for the US currency and limit the current correction. Additional attention will also be given to data from Europe and Switzerland, where inflation and business activity indicators may influence expectations regarding central bank policies and reinforce the ongoing recovery in European currencies if the figures prove supportive.

Liquidity Zones and Liquidity Voids: Analysing Price Dynamics


Liquidity zones are areas where large buy and sell orders cluster, often acting as support or resistance. Liquidity voids (or imbalances) are fast price moves where little trading occurred, and price often returns to fill them.

Traders use liquidity zones to identify entry and exit points, while liquidity voids may help anticipate retracements and continuation moves.

This article explains how liquidity zones and liquidity voids function in market structure and highlights their role on price charts.

Wyckoff Trading Explained: Cycles, Schematics, and Strategy


The Wyckoff method is a technical analysis framework developed by Richard D. Wyckoff in the early 20th century. It focuses on analysing price and volume to identify institutional activity and market cycles.

The method is based on the idea that large market participants drive trends through accumulation and distribution phases. Traders use this approach to anticipate price movements and identify potential entry and exit points.

This article explains the core principles of the Wyckoff trading method, including its laws, market cycle, and application in modern Wyckoff trading strategies.

Weak Data Weigh on the Dollar: Market Awaits Trend Confirmation


The US dollar is retreating from recent highs, moving into a moderate correction after a prolonged period of gains. Pressure on the currency is building amid weaker-than-expected macroeconomic data, while market participants adopt a wait-and-see approach ahead of key labour market releases, including the ADP report.

The current dynamics reflect a gradual cooling in expectations regarding the resilience of the US economy. Recently published indicators point to a slowdown in business activity and easing labour market tightness, reducing support for the dollar after it reached local highs. At the same time, upcoming releases remain a key factor that could either reinforce the corrective move or restore demand for the US currency.

Among the published figures, investors focused on mixed US macro data. The Chicago PMI fell to 52.8 versus expectations of 54.8, signalling a slowdown in the manufacturing sector. In addition, JOLTS job openings came in below forecasts (6.882 million vs 7.240 million), indicating a gradual cooling in the labour market. Further pressure came from regional business activity indices, including data from the Dallas Fed, which reinforced doubts about the sustainability of the current economic momentum.

European Currencies Decline: Pound Hits New Lows, Euro Under Pressure


European currencies continue to weaken against the US dollar amid rising geopolitical tensions and increased demand for safe-haven and liquid assets. Market participants are reducing exposure to riskier instruments, putting pressure on both the euro and the pound. Additional support for the dollar comes from expectations surrounding upcoming US macroeconomic data, which may confirm economic resilience and reinforce the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance.

Escalating tensions in the Middle East remain a key driver for the FX market. Intensifying conflict, risks of disruptions to energy supplies, and rising oil prices are fuelling inflation expectations and boosting demand for the dollar. In such conditions, European currencies remain under pressure as investors favour safer assets over risk-sensitive ones.

Analytical Brent and WTI Oil Price Forecast for 2026–2030


Brent and WTI crude oil benchmarks remain central to global pricing, reflecting shifts in supply, demand, and macroeconomic conditions. As traders look beyond short-term volatility, attention increasingly turns to the medium- and long-term oil price predictions between 2026 and 2030.

Price dynamics over this period are expected to be shaped by a combination of structural and cyclical factors, including OPEC+ production policy, global economic growth, geopolitical risks, and the pace of energy transition. In addition, evolving demand patterns across emerging markets and changes in inventory cycles may influence price stability and trend development.

This article provides a structured analysis of the key drivers affecting Brent and WTI, alongside analytical forecasts and scenario-based projections.

Weekend Trading: Market Access, Liquidity, and Trading Conditions


Weekend trading refers to market activity outside standard trading hours, mainly in cryptocurrencies and selected CFD instruments. While most traditional markets are closed, certain assets remain accessible, although trading conditions may differ from weekday sessions.

Liquidity is typically lower during weekends, which may result in wider spreads and higher volatility. In these conditions, short-term price movements are often influenced more by positioning and sentiment than by fundamental drivers.

This article explains how weekend trading works, which markets remain accessible, and how trading conditions differ from standard sessions.

Geopolitics Fuels Volatility: AUD/USD and USD/CAD Near Key Levels


Commodity-linked currencies continue to weaken amid rising geopolitical tensions, which are boosting demand for safe-haven assets and increasing volatility across both FX and commodity markets. The US dollar is gaining support from demand for liquid and defensive assets, while currencies sensitive to commodities and global risk appetite remain under pressure. Against this backdrop, AUD/USD and USD/CAD have broken through key technical levels, pointing to strengthening momentum and raising the likelihood of further moves in the same direction.

Additional pressure on the market comes from escalating tensions in the Middle East. Reports of fresh strikes, risks of disruptions to energy supplies, and potential restrictions on key shipping routes have pushed oil prices higher. Rising energy costs are fuelling inflation concerns and reducing investors' appetite for risk, supporting the dollar while weighing on commodity currencies.

Meta Platforms (META) Shares Fall by Around 8%


Yesterday, shares of Meta Platforms saw a sharp decline, dropping by approximately 8%, with trading closing below the $550 level for the first time since late April 2025.

Why META Shares Declined
The move was driven by a combination of factors, including:

→ Jury ruling. According to media reports, a jury ordered Meta to pay $375 million for misleading parents about the safety of Instagram and Facebook. The court also found the company liable for developing addictive algorithms that harm teenagers' mental health.

→ Confirmed capital expenditure (CapEx) for 2026 in the range of $115–135 billion. Significant funds are being directed towards energy infrastructure, including a 6.6 GW nuclear energy deal to power the Prometheus supercomputer. The market may question whether returns on AI investments will justify such large-scale spending.

Sentiment has also been weighed down by reports of plans to cut up to 20% of the workforce. While layoffs are typically viewed positively due to cost savings, in this case they may signal that profit margins are being squeezed more than expected due to AI-related expenditure.

The EUR/AUD Pair Rose by More Than 2% Over the Week


If last Thursday trading was taking place below the 1.6300 level, today one euro is worth more than 1.6660 Australian dollars. The upward trend seen in recent days has been driven by a combination of factors, including:

→ Bullish factor for the euro: The European Central Bank (ECB) has revised its 2026 inflation forecast upwards (to 2.6%). The reason lies in the Middle East conflict and rising energy prices. This signals to the market that the ECB may not only refrain from cutting rates but could also begin discussing potential rate hikes this year.

→ Bearish factor for the Australian dollar: The Middle East conflict is placing significant pressure on China's economy (which is already dealing with a property market crisis). A slowdown in trade with China is weakening the Australian currency. For more details, see the article: What Are Commodity Currencies?

However, the chart indicates that the bullish momentum is fading — this is reflected in a series of bearish divergences, with the RSI moving down from overbought territory.
