USD remains under general pressure
EUR/USD – EUR/USD benefiting from increased European defence spending plans pushing yields higher. Scope for the rise to extend towards 1.10 if yield rises are sustained.
USD/JPY – USD/JPY extending is decline as equity sentiment dips with yield spreads still pointing lower, but finance minister Kato warning of one-sided trading may limit pace of decline
EUR/GBP – EUR/GBP breaking higher as EUR yields rise, and now looks well supported below 0.83, scope for advance to 0.85.
AUD/USD – Held above the main support area below 0.62 and has scope to advance to test 0.64 if risk sentiment stabilises
Equities – US market struggling at the highs due to high valuations, declining growth expectations and tariff concerns, but European markets benefiting from expectations of increased defence spending.
