The Pound and Euro Reach New Yearly Highs
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_yB1nQOz

Despite global economic instability and Donald Trump?s tariff policy, the EUR/USD and GBP/USD currency pairs are demonstrating upward momentum, reaching new yearly highs.

Today, market participants are focused on the European Central Bank meeting, where significant statements regarding monetary policy are expected. Yesterday, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell highlighted the impact of the tariff policy on the US economy, which added volatility to the currency markets. These events could significantly influence the further movement of major currency pairs, setting a new trajectory for their quotes.

EUR/USD

Following sharp growth last week, EUR/USD has entered a sideways phase between 1.1480?1.1260. If the 1.1260?1.1240 levels continue to act as support, the pair may accumulate potential to resume its upward movement towards the 1.1700?1.1600 range. If 1.1240 is broken to the downside, the downward correction may intensify towards 1.1100?1.1000.

Stock Markets Consolidate Ahead of the Holidays
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_L4wAzj5

A lull is expected on the financial markets today due to a shortened trading week related to the Easter holiday celebrations.

It is reasonable to assume that traders will get a ?breather? after a news-heavy April, which caused a volatile ?shakeout? in the stock markets.

US Stock Markets

On Wednesday, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell was both cautious and somewhat aggressive in his forecasts regarding US monetary policy, stating that Trump?s tariffs could delay the achievement of inflation targets.

In response, US President Donald Trump accused Powell of ?playing politics?, hinting at his possible dismissal.

European Stock Markets

On Thursday, the ECB cut interest rates for the seventh time in the past 12 months, and European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde left the door open for further easing.

Analysts had expected a rate cut from 2.65% to 2.40%, so the financial markets reacted relatively calmly to the ECB?s decision.

Technical Analysis of the S&P 500 Chart (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen)

On the charts of European and US stock indices today, a narrowing triangle pattern is forming, indicating a balance between supply and demand ? in other words, price is more efficiently factoring in all influencing elements.

Coca-Cola Company (KO) Shares Trade Near All-Time High
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_BWviGPD

Stock market charts indicate that from the start of last week?s trading through to its close:

→ The S&P 500 Index (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen) declined by approximately 3%;
→ Pepsico (PEP) shares dropped by more than 1%;
→ Coca-Cola Company (KO) shares rose by around 2.4%.

Why Aren?t Coca-Cola Shares Falling?

The relatively strong performance of Coca-Cola (KO) shares compared to the broader market and its main competitor may be attributed to the fact that Coca-Cola operates a concentrate production facility in Atlanta, USA. In contrast, Pepsico?s equivalent production is based in Ireland. This gives Coca-Cola a potential advantage under the tariff policies pursued by the Trump administration.

Incidentally, according to media reports, Diet Coke is the favourite drink of the US President.

USD/JPY Analysis: Exchange Rate Falls Below 140 Yen per Dollar Today
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_6XKYKP9

As shown on the USD/JPY chart today, the exchange rate between the US dollar and Japanese yen has fallen below 140 yen per dollar ? marking the first time this has occurred in 2025. Since the beginning of the year, the rate has dropped by approximately 11%.

Among the main driving factors is the White House's tariff policy, which has triggered a sell-off in US government bonds and a weakening of the dollar. One of the more recent developments includes the release of the Consumer Price Index report by the Bank of Japan, which revealed that the CPI remained steady at 2.2%, despite analysts (according to ForexFactory) forecasting a rise to 2.4%.

It?s possible that, due to the lack of inflationary pressure in Japan, the yen is in a relatively stronger position compared to the US currency, where concerns persist that trade wars and Trump?s push for lower interest rates may lead to a spike in inflation and a devaluation of the dollar.

Tesla Shares (TSLA) Drop Nearly 6% Ahead of Quarterly Report
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_3ISNwS5

On Monday, Tesla?s share price fell by almost 6%, dipping below $230 and hovering near its yearly low. Since the beginning of 2025, Tesla shares have lost approximately 44% in value, marking their worst quarter since 2022.

Why Is TSLA Falling?

There is no shortage of investor concerns, including (as reported by various media outlets):

→ Elon Musk?s involvement with the Trump administration, which is said to be distracting him from focusing on Tesla, particularly as signs emerge of slowing progress in the development of robotaxis and autonomous driving technology.

→ A decline in demand ? both for the Cybertruck model specifically and the product line in general ? especially amid protests and boycotts across the US and Europe. Tesla previously reported 336,681 vehicle deliveries in Q1, down 13% compared to the same period last year.

→ Increased competition from Chinese carmakers, uncertainty around international trade tariffs, and other contributing factors.

According to The Wall Street Journal, analysts at Barclays and Oppenheimer have voiced concerns about ?brand dilution? and weakness in China, while Dan Ives of Wedbush is hopeful for an ?inspirational vision? from Elon Musk.

Creating a Balanced Investment Portfolio
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_aKSlDKh

In the vast realm of trading, where platforms like FXOpen play a pivotal role, strategy and skill stand paramount. As the age-old adage goes, 'Don't put all your eggs in one basket.' In the context of trading, this underscores the significance of diversification. Enter the concept of a balanced investment portfolio - an excellent balanced portfolio example, which emerges as an oasis of hope amidst the unpredictable dunes of market volatility.

Understanding the Importance of a Balanced Investment Portfolio

To achieve a balanced investment portfolio, it's crucial to consider the balance of individual components, especially forex, CFDs, stocks, and bonds. For example, a stock portfolio balance refers to the proportion of stocks in relation to other investment types. This balance is pivotal, as stocks often carry higher risks but also higher potential rewards. By understanding their own risk tolerance and learning how to balance portfolio assets effectively, traders can determine the ideal portfolio balance that meets their specific objectives.

Market Volatility Continues to Rise
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_6Nnn6Zu

Amid global economic instability and escalating tariff tensions, the EUR/USD and GBP/USD currency pairs are showing strong growth. Following statements by Donald Trump regarding the potential dismissal of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, pressure on the US dollar is intensifying. This is creating favourable conditions for the strengthening of the euro, the Japanese yen, and the British pound.

President Trump has repeatedly criticised Jerome Powell?s approach to monetary policy, accusing him of excessive caution and a lack of flexibility in cutting interest rates. According to the White House administration, the Fed?s current stance hinders economic growth and weakens the dollar?s position in global markets. These remarks are causing concern among investors and increasing volatility in currency markets, supporting the rise of other currencies against the dollar.

GBP/USD
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_NJWHuxH

Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_NJWHuxH

At the start of the week, GBP/USD buyers managed to push the pair to new yearly highs, testing the key resistance level at 1.3400. The price briefly traded above 1.3400, but a sharp pullback from 1.3420 allowed sellers to form a bearish ?dark cloud cover? pattern. Technical analysis of GBP/USD suggests a potential downward correction following the recent rapid rise. Should the pair consolidate below 1.3200, the decline could extend towards the 1.3160?1.3100 range.

Alphabet (GOOGL) Shares Hover Near Psychological Level Ahead of Earnings Report
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_hpSiZZz

On 31 March, we noted that bearish sentiment could push Alphabet?s (GOOGL) share price towards the psychological level of $150. As the current price chart suggests, GOOGL is now trading close to that very level.

Moreover, the price is approximately equidistant from the recent highs and lows (marked A and B), which may be interpreted as a sign of balanced supply and demand ? and a wait-and-see stance from market participants ahead of Alphabet?s Q1 earnings release (scheduled for tomorrow, 24 April).

Awaiting the GOOGL Earnings Report

With the Nasdaq 100 index (US Tech 100 mini on FXOpen) having fallen by around 13.5% since the beginning of the year, investors are approaching tech earnings with caution. According to Barron?s, three key themes are expected to dominate the narrative:

→ management forecasts amid continued uncertainty around the White House?s tariff policy;
→ plans for major capital investment in AI-related infrastructure;
→ signs of softening consumer demand.

Given the current climate of uncertainty, Alphabet?s earnings report could prove particularly influential ? serving as a benchmark for shaping market expectations ahead of other major tech company reports.

Gold Price Plunges After Climbing to $3,500 for the First Time
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_wNaUbkw

As the XAU/USD chart shows:
→ Yesterday, the spot gold price stopped just a few cents short of the key psychological level of $3,500 (and even exceeded it on the futures market);
→ But this morning, an ounce is trading around $3,300, having dropped aggressively by more than 5%.

Why Did Gold Suddenly Drop?

The sharp decline followed a shift in rhetoric from President Trump. According to Reuters:
→ The US President backed away from threats to dismiss Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell;
→ He also signalled a more moderate stance on tariffs against China.

Market participants interpreted this as a reason to take profits on long positions, as the softened tone from the White House reduced demand for safe-haven assets. As a result, gold collapsed from its historic high, while the US dollar index rebounded from multi-month lows.
