Natural Gas: key support amid renewed escalation
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_WIs2nXYf_o

A key development on 13 April was the start of a naval blockade of Iranian ports, a direct consequence of the collapse of negotiations in Islamabad on 12 April. The blockade covers all vessels entering and leaving Iranian ports in the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. Around 20% of global natural gas trade passes through the Strait of Hormuz, and the renewed escalation has once again heightened risks to global LNG supplies. European TTF has previously reacted with sharp widening spreads during earlier flare-ups, while the Asian JKM benchmark also remains sensitive to regional disruptions.

Against this backdrop, natural gas as an asset class is caught between two opposing forces: a geopolitical risk premium is providing price support at the global level, while a structural supply surplus ? record production, accelerated injections into storage, and an unusually warm spring in the Northern Hemisphere ? is weighing on prices from a fundamental perspective.

Analytical Microsoft Stock Price Predictions for 2026-2030
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_FzWL2NQt_o

Microsoft's stock outlook for 2026?2030 remains broadly constructive, driven by continued growth in Azure, expanding AI monetisation through Copilot, and a $625 billion commercial backlog that provides unusual revenue visibility. The stock trades near $373 as of 8th April 2026, down roughly 33% from its July 2025 all-time high, with the forward P/E compressed to around 20x.

Base-case scenarios point to steady long-term appreciation as AI infrastructure spending begins converting into returns. However, the pace of any recovery depends on capex discipline, Copilot adoption rates, macro conditions and interest rate direction. Valuation sensitivity remains a key swing factor. Read on to learn more about key drivers and risks for MSFT stock price.

USD/JPY and USD/CAD Under Pressure: Dollar Tests Key Levels
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_t2pumFWX_o

The US dollar remains under pressure, testing key support levels amid expectations of easing geopolitical tensions. The market continues to price in the possibility of renewed negotiations between the US and Iran, reducing demand for the dollar as a safe-haven asset and supporting riskier instruments. Against this backdrop, currency pairs are showing heightened sensitivity to news flow and expectations regarding further developments.

An additional source of pressure on the dollar is the decline in US Treasury yields, which is driving a reassessment of Federal Reserve policy expectations. Market participants are weighing the likelihood of policy easing, while upcoming US macroeconomic data ? including business activity indicators, import prices, and housing statistics ? could adjust current expectations and set the direction for further moves.

EUR/USD and GBP/USD Continue to Strengthen Ahead of Data Releases
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_GlD0fmK6_o

European currencies are maintaining an upward trajectory, having reached previously outlined levels amid sustained demand for the euro and the pound. The current advance is developing against a backdrop of gradually shifting market expectations and ongoing pressure on the US dollar. However, as prices approach key levels, traders are increasingly factoring in the risk of slowing momentum and a transition to more subdued price action.

Support for European currencies is largely driven by expectations surrounding upcoming macroeconomic releases from the UK and the eurozone, which remain in sharp focus for investors. Forthcoming data on economic activity and business conditions could influence expectations regarding central bank policy and, in turn, demand for the euro and sterling. At the same time, the market remains cautious ahead of key US data, which could rebalance expectations for Federal Reserve policy and alter the current market dynamics.
