The post Euro trades flat despite soft European inflation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/USD trades in a muted fashion near the 1.1430 area on Friday, as a weaker US Dollar (USD) helps the pair hold onto modest Thursday gains. That was true even after inflation data from Germany and France showed limited price pressure. Germany’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) fell 0.3% MoM in June, while the annual rate remained unchanged at 2.3%. The Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) declined 0.2% MoM and rose 2.4% YoY. In France, the EU-harmonized CPI fell 0.3% on the month and increased 2.0% from a year earlier. The readings suggest that inflation in two of the Eurozone’s largest economies remains relatively contained. This could reduce the need for the European Central Bank (ECB) to maintain an aggressively restrictive policy stance, limiting the Euro’s upside. Meanwhile, geopolitical uncertainty remains in focus. United States (US) President Donald Trump said on Truth Social that I

The post NZD/USD Price Forecast: Recovery extends, but overhead SMAs cap upside appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

UOB’s Quek Ser Leang notes USD/SGD remains range-bound, with intraday action expected between 1.2905 and 1.2940 as recent price moves provided no fresh directional clues. Over the next one to three weeks, the bank sees mild downward pressure as having eased, projecting a broader 1.2890–1.2990 range.

The post AUD/USD climbs as Chinese Yuan strength supports the Aussie appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. AUD/USD advances toward the 0.6960 area on Friday, supported by a softer US Dollar (USD) and renewed strength in the Chinese Yuan (CNY). The pair continues to recover on the four-hour chart, although escalating tensions between the United States (US) and Iran are limiting broader risk appetite. US President Donald Trump said on Truth Social that Iran had requested further negotiations and that Washington had agreed to continue talks. However, Trump warned that the ceasefire was “over,” raising concerns that hostilities could intensify despite diplomatic channels remaining open. Meanwhile, the Chinese Yuan strengthened to a one-week high against the US Dollar, offering additional support to the Australian Dollar given Australia’s close trade ties with China. The move followed a stronger fixing from the People’s Bank of China (PBOC), which set the USD/CNY midpoint at 6.7989, below th

The post New Zealand Dollar: Constructive outlook faces yield constraints – OCBC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. OCBC strategists Christopher Wong and Sim Moh Siong note that the New Zealand Dollar (NZD) outperformed after stronger manufacturing data and hawkish Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) commentary reinforced expectations for further tightening. They remain constructive on NZD but highlights that upside from yield support may be constrained near term. Markets are pricing the RBNZ as the most hawkish G10 central bank, with around 80bp of additional tightening by mid-2027. NZD strength meets yield headwinds “NZD outperformed after stronger-than-expected manufacturing data and hawkish RBNZ commentary strengthened expectations for further policy tightening. New Zealand’s manufacturing PMI rose to 59.7 in June, its highest level since July 2021.” “We remain constructive on NZD. However, the scope for NZ yields to move materially higher in the near term may be limited until the

The post Euro retraces previous gains as Eurozone data paves the way for an ECB pause appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Euro (EUR) has given away most of the daily gains against the US Dollar (USD) on Friday, returning to the 1.1430 area from session highs at 1.1475, which leaves the pair practically flat on the daily chart. Soft economic data from Eurozone countries, coupled with geopolitical uncertainty and higher Oil prices, is posing a significant weight on the Euro rallies. In Germany, June’s final Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) confirmed previous estimations, showing that inflation slowed down to a 2.4% year-over-year (y-o-y) rate from 2.7% in May and from the April peak of 2.9%. Monthly inflation contracted 0.2%, also in line with preliminary estimations, and following a 0.1% contraction in May. At a later time, INSEE revealed that France’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) was also in line with the preliminary estimations. Yearly inflation eased to a 2% rate in June

The post Euro: Range-bound rebound faces key resistance against US Dollar – Societe Generale appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Societe Generale’s Kenneth Broux notes EUR/USD has rebounded after forming an interim low near 1.1325 and moved back into its prior range, signalling limited follow-through on the earlier breakdown. The bank stresses that resistance at 1.1475/1.1500 must be cleared to extend the bounce, while a drop below 1.1390 would risk resuming the broader downtrend. Bounce capped by 1.1500 barrier “EUR/USD has staged a modest rebound after carving out an interim low around 1.1325. The pair has re-integrated within previous range, indicating a lack of follow-through after the recent breakdown.” “However, clear signals of a large up move are not yet visible. The recent pivot high at 1.1475/1.1500 is the first layer of resistance. Overcoming this will be crucial for signalling an extension of the bounce.” “Conversely, there could be a risk of a continuation of the downtren
