Dollar steadies, set for weekly loss on US-Iran deal talks
Saturday, June 13,2026,01:33

The dollar steadied but eyed a weekly loss as Middle East peace talks and SpaceX's massive IPO dominated market attention. The euro edged higher after the ECB's rate hike, while traders awaited the Federal Reserve's upcoming meeting. Markets are assessing the impact of potential peace and the SpaceX offering on fund flows. .. read more..

EUR/USD Analysis – June 12th: Trump's Statements Interrupt the Dollar's Rise
Friday, June 12,2026,13:15

The wave pattern on the 4-hour chart for EUR/USD has changed. There is still no reason to speak of the cancellation of the upward trend segment (lower chart), which began in January of last year. However, the wave structure has now taken on a corrective form. In the long term, a wave C formation can be expected, with its low positioned below the low of wave A. At present, it is difficult to believe in such a significant decline of the euro, but the first quarter of 2026 demonstrated that geopolitics can work wonders and reverse established trends. On the lower time frame, I can identify a classic five-wave bearish structure. After this structure is completed, the instrument may transition... .. read more..

EUR/USD – Smart Money Analysis: Geopolitical Developments Shift Direction Onc...
Friday, June 12,2026,13:07

The EUR/USD pair continues to drift gradually lower. This week, bulls made several attempts to halt the bearish advance, but all of them ended in failure to one degree or another. Although the Nonfarm Payrolls report does not fall into the category of geopolitical events, it nevertheless triggered a sharp decline in the pair last Friday, resulting in the formation of bearish imbalance 16. At present, this imbalance serves not only as an area of interest for bears but also as a resistance zone for bulls. As of Friday evening, bulls had failed to overcome this zone. A sell signal had nearly formed within imbalance 16, but yesterday evening Donald Trump once again entered the scene and disru... .. read more..

Friday, June 12,2026,12:29

The GBP/USD pair has an excellent opportunity to continue its decline after reacting to bearish imbalance 19, but geopolitical developments have been changing direction twice a day this week. Therefore, even if a trade setup appears highly attractive at the moment, it is too early to celebrate. Within a few hours, Donald Trump may make a statement that sends the price sharply in the opposite direction. A few hours later, it may reverse again as Trump's position changes once more. Yesterday morning, the U.S. president was preparing to launch significant strikes against Iran and accused Tehran of deliberately delaying negotiations. By the evening, however, "Middle Eastern leaders had report... .. read more..

The USDCAD comes off the new highs for the year but prior highs stall the fall
Friday, June 12,2026,12:27

The USDCAD has been on its own moon mission since early May, rallying from 1.3549 to a new 2026 high of 1.4023 reached yesterday. While there have been periodic pullbacks along the way, the broader uptrend has remained firmly intact. A key reason is that the pair has spent most of the rally above its 200-hour moving average, with only brief dips below the 100-hour moving average. The 200-hour MA has consistently acted as a reliable trend guide, helping to define and sustain the bullish bias. After reaching the 1.4023 high yesterday, the pair corrected lower and tested a confluence of support. Buyers stepped in near the rising 100-hour moving average, currently at 1.3955, while the price a... .. read more..

US dollar surprises twice
Friday, June 12,2026,10:52

All wars end sooner or later with a peace agreement. A deal between the US and Iran could be formalized as early as next week in Switzerland. It would provide for a two-month ceasefire and the full lifting of the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. The parties would then intend to discuss Tehran's nuclear program. Rumors of peace have never felt as real as they do now. Yet EUR/USD is in no hurry to rise. A lot of strange things have been happening on Forex recently. The US dollar should have strengthened substantially due to its safe-haven status, the strength of the US economy, and the rising odds of Fed monetary tightening. The gap in real yields in debt markets signals that EUR/USD shoul... .. read more..

Gold slightly recovers
Friday, June 12,2026,10:52

Despite yesterday's modest rebound, the biggest Wall Street banks are simultaneously downgrading their gold forecasts. UBS expects prices to fall to $4,000–$3,850 per ounce in the coming months, and Citi yesterday cut its three?month target to $4,000 from $4,300. The consensus is clustering around a single level — and that is telling. The logic behind the short-term pessimism is clear. If a peace agreement between the US and Iran is signed in the coming days — and Trump has said as much — oil will fall, inflation expectations will ease, and bets on Fed rate hikes will be pushed further out. All of this relieves pressure on gold, but the metal is already trading below its 200-day moving av... .. read more..

U.S. Consumer Sentiment Rebounds From Record Low In June

With consumers experiencing some relief due to the early-month easing in gasoline prices, the University of Michigan released a report on Friday showing a bigger than expected rebound in U.S. consumer sentiment in the month of June. The University of Michigan said its consumer sentiment index jumped to 48.9 in June after slumping to 44.8 in May. Economists had expected the index to rise to 46.0. .. read more..

USDCHF off the boil, but buyers and seller are now in neutral territory
Friday, June 12,2026,09:40

The USDCHF has been trending higher since June 1, with buyers successfully pushing the pair above both the 100-hour and 200-hour moving averages and keeping it there for most of the advance. Yesterday, the price reached a key swing area target from late March and early April while also testing the natural resistance zone around the 0.8000 level. Sellers initially leaned against that resistance, but it was the announcement of a ceasefire deal that ultimately triggered a sharp move lower. That decline pushed the price below the 100-hour moving average, tilting the bias to the downside in the short term. However, the sellers could not generate enough momentum to break below the 200-hour movi... .. read more..

The SpaceX IPO is bigger than rockets: a new test for public markets
Friday, June 12,2026,09:00

Key takeaways SpaceX is not just a rocket company . Its investment story now also runs through Starlink, satellites and artificial intelligence. Starlink turns SpaceX’s launch advantage into recurring broadband revenue , while xAI adds a more ambitious data and artificial intelligence angle to the story. The opportunity is large, but valuation, execution, xAI spending and governance risks make discipline essential. SpaceX has spent years making rocket launches look almost routine. That is a strange sentence, but it is also the point. The company has turned one of the hardest jobs in engineering into something closer to an industrial process. Now public investors get their turn to de... .. read more..

ICT Killzones Explained
Friday, June 12,2026,08:36

ICT Killzones are trading windows when institutional investors are most active. During these periods, market volatility often increases, creating opportunities to profit from short-term price movements but also raising risks. According to the ICT concept, there are four Killzones. Three of them occur during the early hours of the London, New York, and Asian trading sessions, while the fourth falls during the closing of the London session, which overlaps with the New York session. This review examines how ICT Killzones drive market movements, how to apply them in trading strategies, and what risks to consider. Major Takeaways ICT Killzones are...

Friday, June 12,2026,08:23

As the North American session begins, the US dollar is marginally higher with gains of less than 0.10% vs the EUR and the GBP and a gain of 0.20% vs the JPY. Although higher and well away from the levels reached after the stronger-than-expected PPI data and then in the dollar decline after the Trump announcement of a deal with Iran, the moves today have been more up and down. That has taken the prices of the major currency pairs back into a neutral area technically. There just wasn't a clear breakout momentum. As a result the prices have returned back into the cluster of technical levels that have helped define bias over the last month or so of trading. So just as there is hope for a peac... .. read more..

USD/JPY: Beginner Trading Tips on June 12th (U.S. Session)
Friday, June 12,2026,07:35

Trade Analysis and Trading Advice for the Japanese Yen The price test at 160.25 occurred at a moment when the MACD indicator had just started moving downward from the zero line, confirming a valid entry point for selling the dollar. As a result, the pair declined toward the target level of 160.02. Given the tense situation surrounding possible intervention by the Bank of Japan in the yen exchange rate, traders are tending to adopt a more cautious, wait-and-see approach. In the near term, the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index and inflation expectations data are expected, which could trigger a spike in market volatility.

The British pound, already under pressure due to uncertainty stemming from the situation in the Middle East, received an additional blow. A slowdown in economic growth of 0.1% last month, although modest, has become a warning signal for traders. Particularly concerning is the stagnation in industrial production, which points to weakness in the real sector of the economy. The currency market reacted immediately.

However, no major market rally followed. Inflation data from Germany and Italy matched economists' forecasts, which limited euro volatility. In Germany, the Consumer Price Index declined, while in Italy it increased. The market reacted with restrained optimism.

Commodities slide as markets price a tentative path to peace

Key points: Oil has led a broad commodity retreat this month as markets increasingly price a normalization of Gulf energy exports, despite the absence of a confirmed agreement between Washington and Tehran. The Bloomberg Commodity Index is heading for a fourth consecutive weekly decline, with weakness spreading across energy, metals, grains and soft commodities. Gold and other metals have staged a relief rally as peace hopes ease inflation concerns, but sentiment remains fragile while gold trades below its 200-day moving average. El Niño has officially returned, creating a new source of weather-related supply risk across agriculture, energy and metals markets. The Bloomberg Commodi... .. read more..

German and Italian inflation data fully matched economists' forecasts, showing a decline of 0.2% and an increase of 0.1% respectively, which supported the euro with modest gains in the first half of the day. This cautious optimism in the markets was reinforced by expectations of further interest rate hikes by the European Central Bank. Despite the slight increase, the euro remains under pressure due to ongoing uncertainty in the global economy and the situation in the Middle East. Looking ahead, we will receive data on the ... .. read more..

European politicians prepare markets for second rate hike
Friday, June 12,2026,06:32

Less than 24 hours after the first ECB rate increase since 2023, Bundesbank president Joachim Nagel signaled that the June move would not be the last. "The Governing Council will be gathering for its next monetary-policy meeting in July," Nagel said in emailed comments Friday. "We are keeping all our options open and are ready to respond once again, should we have to. Our data-dependent and meeting-by-meeting approach to making decisions remains appropriate," he said. Nagel left little room for interpretation. He said the effects of the war with Iran were large and persistent and that a rate rise would be necessary even if conditions improved quickly.

Friday, June 12,2026,06:21

Gold (XAU/USD) remained below the $4,260 resistance level during the early European session on Friday, while holding above the lowest level since November recorded the previous day. Conflicting rhetoric regarding a potential peace agreement between the United States and Iran has boosted demand for the U.S. dollar, which remains a key factor weighing on precious metal prices. Additional pressure comes from the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance, which continues to encourage capital flows away from non-yielding assets such as gold.

XAU/USD Price Analysis and Forecast: Gold Bears Maintain Intraday Control
Friday, June 12,2026,05:57

From a technical perspective, gold maintains a short-term bearish bias despite the current recovery, remaining below the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA). Friday's volatility appears to be primarily driven by short-covering activity. The MACD indicator remains in negative territory, with its histogram positioned below the signal line and continuing to print negative readings. At the same time, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is fluctuating near the 30 level, which marks the boundary of the oversold zone, indicating that downward pressure remains in place despite the partial recovery from recent lows. In terms of resistance levels, the nearest resistance zone is located between $4,230... .. read more..

Stock market on June 12: S&P 500 and Nasdaq bounce after Trump remarks
Friday, June 12,2026,05:04

The US stock markets rose strongly yesterday. The S&P 500 gained 1.75%, the Nasdaq 100 jumped 2.54%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 1.76%. The rally followed President Donald Trump's statement that the United States had ended the war with Iran. The MSCI Asia Pacific index rose 3.5%— its largest gain in two months — while South Korea's Kospi surged 8.4%. Futures on US indexes point to a continuation of the rally, and European markets are priced to open about 1.8% higher. Brent crude fell about 2% to roughly $88.50 a barrel. Trump said talks had taken place at the highest levels of Iranian leadership and suggested a signing could occur this weekend in Europe with Vice Presid... .. read more..

EUR/USD – June 12th: Markets Remain Focused on Iran Rather Than the ECB
Friday, June 12,2026,04:39

On Thursday, the EUR/USD pair declined to the 76.4% Fibonacci retracement level at 1.1514, rebounded from it, and then advanced toward the 61.8% Fibonacci level at 1.1578. A rebound from this level today would allow traders to anticipate a reversal in favor of the U.S. dollar and a return to 1.1514. A consolidation above 1.1578 would increase the likelihood of further gains toward the next retracement level at 1.1630 (50.0%). The wave structure on the hourly chart remains straightforward. The most recently completed upward wave exceeded the previous peak, while the latest downward wave (which is still developing) broke the previous low. Therefore, the trend remains bearish. Bulls may laun... .. read more..

GOLD. Lack of Progress in Iran Negotiations May Once Again Drive Gold Prices ...
Friday, June 12,2026,04:14

Trump is once again stirring up the markets with promises of reaching a peace deal this weekend. Whether this will happen remains an open question and could affect the likelihood of a reversal in market trends, similar to what was observed yesterday, Thursday. On this wave, the price of gold may resume its decline towards yesterday's local low. From a technical standpoint, the absence of positive news from the Middle East could lead to a renewed drop in gold prices. Technical Analysis and Trading Idea: The price is currently below the middle line of the Bollinger Bands, below the 5-period SMA, but still above the 14-period SMA.

Why Did the US Dollar Plummet Sharply?
Friday, June 12,2026,03:56

Yesterday, the US dollar experienced a sharp decline, and the reasons for this—at least according to the market—are quite remarkable. As soon as Trump declared for what seems like the 34th time the end of the war with Iran, the markets exploded. "Today, we ended the war with Iran," the president stated during his evening tele-town hall, adding, "We got everything we wanted." This led to a significant drop in the dollar against a number of risk assets. Just yesterday morning, Trump promised to deliver a "very strong" blow to Iran and threatened to seize the country's oil infrastructure. By the evening of the same day, he announced the end of the strikes and said that Iran's supreme leader ... .. read more..

EUR/USD Analysis – June 12th: Market Confidence Continues to Deteriorate
Friday, June 12,2026,03:41

The wave pattern on the 4-hour chart for EUR/USD has changed. There is still no reason to abandon the bullish trend segment (lower chart), which has been developing since January of last year. However, the trend structure has now taken on a corrective form. From a long-term perspective, wave C can be expected to develop, with its low likely positioned below the low of wave A. At the current stage, such a substantial decline in the euro is difficult to envision, but the first quarter of 2026 demonstrated that geopolitics can produce dramatic shifts and reverse established trends. On the lower time frame, I can identify a classic five-wave bearish structure. After this structure is complete... .. read more..

GBP/USD – June 12th: Donald Trump Reverses His Position on Iran
Friday, June 12,2026,03:36

On the hourly chart, GBP/USD consolidated below the 1.3349–1.3355 support level on Thursday, but failed to extend its decline and returned to the 50.0% Fibonacci retracement level at 1.3408 by the end of the day. A consolidation above this level would allow the pound to continue rising toward the 1.3454–1.3466 resistance level. A rebound from the 1.3408 level would once again support expectations of a decline toward the 1.3349–1.3355 level and lower. The wave structure remains bearish, as bulls still lack sufficient positive geopolitical news to launch a full-scale advance. The most recently completed upward wave failed to break the previous peak, while the latest downward wave broke the ... .. read more..

Trading Recommendations for the Cryptocurrency Market on June 12
Friday, June 12,2026,03:23

Bitcoin and Ethereum experienced a slight increase yesterday, but it is unlikely that the upward potential will last long. Bitcoin is still trading below $63,000, while Ethereum cannot seem to consolidate above $1,650. Yesterday, Donald Trump made a statement that instantly shifted sentiment in the financial markets: the US has agreed to end the war with Iran. According to the president, an agreement has essentially been reached—Iran will not obtain nuclear weapons—and in the coming days, the parties will resolve all remaining issues. For the markets, this signifies de-escalation of the very geopolitical conflict that has been a major source of pressure on risk assets since late May. The ... .. read more..

USD/JPY: Simple Trading Tips for Beginner Traders on June 12. Analysis of Yes...
Friday, June 12,2026,03:07

Analysis of Trades and Advice on Trading the Japanese Yen The price test at 160.47 coincided with the moment when the MACD indicator was just beginning to move downward from the zero mark, confirming the correct entry point to sell dollars. As a result, the pair moved down to the target level of 160.14. The yen exhibited impressive growth yesterday, while the US dollar weakened. This reversal was driven by a promising statement from President Donald Trump about his intention to make significant progress toward concluding a deal to end the war with Iran. Such a move, implying a shift from military confrontation to diplomatic resolution, naturally increased the yen's appeal; however, its gr... .. read more..
