Psychology for major markets Mar 19
-
Calm before slate of central banks
EUR/USD – The Euro unchanged waiting for ECB.
USD/JPY – USD/JPY is still approaching 160 but have tilted lower after Ueda's optimistic words on 2026 wage growth.
EUR/GBP – Little changed as the market's spotlight isn't here. Overall in consolidation.
AUD/USD – The Aussie has erased most gains on Thursday as both risk asset and precious metals turned lower.
Equities & Others – Broader risk atmosphere is sour after South Pars oil field attack. The subsequent retaliation on Qatar has knocked out a significant share of LNG in the market and could have a severe impact if the geopolitical tension persists. Both risk asset and precious metals are lower while WTI diverges from Brent's rise.
