It's all about digesting tariff headlines and for once, the dollar seems to be holding up well. The concern now is that Trump might just really follow through on his latest tariff threats. It's sort of like the run up to the initial reciprocal tariffs announcement back in April, albeit much more measured this time around.
The changes so far today are light, with the dollar holding steadier in general. EUR/USD is sitting just above 1.1700 with large option expiries at the figure level factoring into play once again. As for USD/JPY, the pair is singing to the tune of bond yields as it now climbs up to 147.00. The near 2% gains so far this week is the best weekly showing for the pair this year but we're only at the halfway point on the week.
Looking to the session ahead, there won't be any major releases on the agenda in Europe. So, all eyes will be on trade headlines and Trump's tariff letters to come. Here's a catch up of things in case you missed them:
