Dollar Gains Fresh Momentum: Market Assesses the Impact of the NFP Report
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_4tHK14T7_o

The US dollar strengthened against its major counterparts after the release of a robust US labour market report. Non-farm payrolls increased by 172K in May, well above the forecast of 85K, confirming the resilience of the US economy and reducing expectations of an imminent easing of monetary policy by the Federal Reserve. Additional support for the greenback comes from rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which continue to boost demand for safe-haven assets.

Investors remain focused on developments in the conflict between Israel and Iran. Over the weekend, both sides exchanged large-scale strikes, leading to a further escalation of tensions in the region. The increase in geopolitical risks is contributing to persistent uncertainty across global financial markets and strengthening demand for the US dollar as a safe-haven currency. Against this backdrop, market attention is gradually shifting towards upcoming US economic releases, which are expected to either confirm or challenge the sustainability of the current bullish momentum in the dollar.

Euro Stabilises After Sell-Off as Markets Await US CPI and Bank of Canada Meeting
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_vbWTBPHU_o

The euro is showing signs of a modest recovery following a sharp decline triggered by a strong US employment report and increased demand for safe-haven assets amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Robust Nonfarm Payrolls data confirmed the resilience of the US labour market, allowing the dollar to strengthen against most major peers and reinforcing expectations that the Federal Reserve will maintain a restrictive policy stance.

Investor attention today will be focused on the release of US inflation data. According to forecasts, annual consumer price growth may accelerate to 4.2% from 3.8% previously, while core inflation is expected to rise to 2.9% from 2.8%. Should the figures exceed expectations, markets may once again reassess the outlook for Federal Reserve rate cuts, providing additional support for the US dollar.

Another key event will be the Bank of Canada policy meeting. The central bank is widely expected to leave its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 2.25%, although market participants will be paying close attention to the accompanying statement and policymakers' comments regarding the future path of monetary policy. Any signals pointing towards further easing could weigh on the Canadian dollar and support gains in EUR/CAD.

Meta Platforms: Strong Earnings Fail to Support the Share Price
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_22M4M8pr_o

Meta's revenue rose by 33% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2026, reaching $56.3 billion. Adjusted earnings per share came in at $7.31, comfortably ahead of the consensus forecast of $6.67. However, the positive earnings results were overshadowed by other developments.

Alongside the report, the company raised its 2026 capital expenditure forecast to between $125 billion and $145 billion, which the market interpreted as a signal of potential pressure on free cash flow. Additional pressure on the share price emerged in early June following reports that Meta was considering raising tens of billions of dollars through a new share offering to finance AI infrastructure projects. The company itself dismissed these reports as "pure speculation".

EUR/USD: ECB Meeting and Interest Rate Expectations
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_HAww2UAy_o

On 11 June, the ECB is holding the second day of its Governing Council meeting. The interest rate decision will be announced at 14:15 CET, followed by a press conference by Christine Lagarde at 14:45 CET. Markets are focused on the possibility of a 25-basis-point rate increase to 2.25%.

The case for further tightening is supported by accelerating inflation in the euro area, driven in part by higher energy prices resulting from geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. At its 30 April meeting, the ECB paused its policy cycle but indicated that June would be an important point for reassessing the outlook. Labour market resilience and signs of second-round inflation effects have strengthened the arguments in favour of tighter policy. The tone of the press conference could shape market expectations for interest rates through the remainder of the year.

Sterling at Key Levels as Investors Assess UK Economic Outlook
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_2Da5ov6o_o

The British pound is maintaining a cautious tone following a period of elevated volatility, with market participants now focused on key upcoming UK economic data releases. Both GBP/USD and GBP/JPY are consolidating near important technical levels as investors await macroeconomic indicators that could provide clearer signals on the outlook for the UK economy and the Bank of England?s next policy moves.

The main event later this week will be the release of UK GDP data for April. Forecasts suggest the economy may contract by 0.1% month-on-month, following a 0.3% expansion in the previous month. At the same time, figures for industrial production, manufacturing output, construction activity, and the trade balance will also be published. Weaker-than-expected data could reinforce expectations of further Bank of England easing and put additional pressure on sterling, while stronger readings may support the currency and trigger a fresh wave of demand.

US Natural Gas: Inventory Surplus Continues to Weigh on Prices
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_xngusd

The US natural gas market (XNG/USD) is entering the summer season under the influence of two opposing forces. Domestically, the picture remains bearish. According to the EIA, working gas in underground storage stood at 2,688 billion cubic feet as of 5 June 2026, which is 151 billion cubic feet above the five-year average. At the same time, gas deliveries to major LNG export terminals have fallen to 16.3 billion cubic feet per day, as seasonal maintenance work at the Golden Pass and Freeport LNG facilities in Texas has constrained export flows.

On the other hand, global LNG demand is strengthening. On 9 June, Morgan Stanley warned that LNG prices could rise to levels not seen in more than three years. Hot weather across Asia and Europe?s need to replenish gas reserves are intensifying competition for available LNG supplies. Should demand continue to increase, a greater share of US LNG could be redirected to overseas markets, potentially providing support for domestic natural gas prices over the longer term.

US Dollar Index Analysis: Dollar at a Crucial Point, What's Next?
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_dlvvRS4H_o

As the chart shows, the US Dollar Index (DXY) has gained more than 4% from its January lows, with the move accelerating from February 2026 onwards. Today, the dollar finds itself at a technically and fundamentally critical point, one that could define the near-term direction not only of the greenback itself, but of equity indices, dollar-paired currencies, commodities, and cryptocurrencies alike.

What Has Been Driving Dollar Strength?
The primary driver behind the dollar's recent appreciation has been geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East, with the US dollar and crude oil (XBR/USD and WTI/USD) being the natural beneficiaries.

The most recent example came on 11 June, when President Trump stated his intention to bomb Iran and seize its oil resources ? echoing the approach taken with Venezuela. Within hours, however, the statement was walked back, with officials indicating that negotiations were in their final stages. The dollar initially surged on hawkish rhetoric, then surrendered the entire gain as tensions appeared to ease, with traders reducing so-called safe-haven exposure. Should Middle East tensions escalate further and a near-term agreement fail to materialise, the dollar could find renewed buying interest and potentially challenge the key level it currently faces.

Forex Kill Zone Times and ICT Trading Sessions
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_oun2bl9P_o

Kill Zone trading is a method that focuses on the most liquid and volatile periods of the trading day. It aims to align trades with institutional activity during specific time windows. The concept comes from the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) method, with ICT Kill Zone times covering the Asian, London, and New York sessions. These forex Kill Zone times mark specific intraday periods when liquidity, trading volume, and institutional activity tend to increase, with the London Kill Zone time among the most active windows.

This article explains forex Kill Zone times, the main trading sessions, and the role of institutional order flow in Kill Zone trading.

What Is a Forex Kill Zone?
A forex Kill Zone is a short, high-activity window when a currency pair tends to see higher volatility and trading volume. These windows usually align with the open of a major session or occur during forex session overlaps. The concept, popularised by Michael Huddleston, also known as the Inner Circle Trader, highlights the importance of timing in trading strategies.

These active windows sit inside the broader forex market sessions. The forex market operates 24 hours a working day across four major sessions: Sydney, Tokyo, London, and New York. Each session reflects the working hours of its regional financial centre.

Nikkei 225 Strengthens Ahead of the Bank of Japan Decision
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_YPYePKXa_o

Investors are focused on the Bank of Japan's policy meeting on 16 June. According to a Reuters survey published on 10 June, the majority of economists expect the benchmark interest rate to be raised to 1% ? a level not seen for decades. The market is also reacting to the Producer Price Index (PPI) data released on 10 June, which points to ongoing inflationary pressures.

For the Japanese market, not only the rate decision itself matters, but also its impact on the yen. Monetary policy expectations influence the outlook for export-oriented companies included in the Nikkei 225 index (Japan 225 on FXOpen), prompting investors to assess both the BoJ's decision and any signals regarding policy moves in the second half of the year.

Oil Prices Are Back at Pre-Conflict Levels. Analysts Are Divided
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_EN-0207

At the start of May, oil markets were still pricing in elevated geopolitical risk and expectations of sustained supply disruption.

But easing tensions between Washington and Tehran, along with improving supply expectations, have rapidly shifted sentiment back toward fundamentals.

Brent crude has fallen back to around $71?74 per barrel
Prices are now close to pre-conflict levels after a drop of more than 35% since early May
The market is reassessing whether the geopolitical risk premium has been fully removed

The debate is now split between two clear narratives.

Bearish case: supply is recovering and demand remains uneven
Bullish case: geopolitical risks in the Strait of Hormuz are still not fully priced in

The key question for markets is whether oil has already priced in good news ? or whether volatility is simply paused, not gone.

Gain insights to strengthen your trading knowledge.

S&P 500: Index Narrows Its Range as the Labour Market Cools
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_spx

The broad US market index, the S&P 500, has entered July against a backdrop of mixed signals from the labour market. The Bureau of Labor Statistics report released on 2 July showed that just 57,000 jobs were added in June, well below market expectations, while the unemployment rate stood at 4.2%. Following the release, markets scaled back expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike in September, although the possibility of an October increase remains. At the same time, the current 10% global tariff is due to expire at the end of July, and markets are gradually pricing in uncertainty surrounding future trade policy decisions.

NZD/CHF Analysis: Which Currency Breaks the Consolidation First?
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_nzzdusd

NZD/CHF remains locked in a tight range as traders await the next monetary policy catalyst.

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand heads into Wednesday's meeting on shaky ground. After May's 3-3 split was resolved by a casting vote, the committee still lifted its rate path sharply, eyeing a 3.28% terminal rate by 2029. But the oil slide following the US-Iran truce has cut hike odds from over 80% to around 66-70%, splitting major banks between a hold and a further move.

Meanwhile, the Swiss National Bank holds firm at 0% for a fourth straight meeting. Switzerland's challenge mirrors New Zealand's in reverse: subdued inflation rather than overheating, leaving little room?or need?for tightening. The franc's strength stems more from so-called safe-haven flows than rate differentials.

The result: NZDCHF caught between short-term RBNZ uncertainty and near-static Swiss policy, with direction hinging on Wednesday's decision.

Gold Resumes Its Advance Following the US Labour Market Report
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_gold

Gold is attempting to break its medium-term trend, with the latest US labour market data acting as the main catalyst. The US employment report released on 2 July came in noticeably weaker than expected, with the pace of hiring slowing to its lowest level in several months. This may have dampened expectations of a near-term Federal Reserve rate hike, while the minutes of the Fed's June meeting, due to be released on 8 July, could provide further insight into how long this pause in the central bank's rhetoric is likely to last. For now, markets are pricing in a more dovish scenario, supporting safe-haven assets such as gold.

EUR/USD Analysis: Who Is in Control?
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_eurusd

Two central banks, two hawkish tones ? but only one dollar just took a hit. The ECB delivered a 25bp hike in June, its first since 2023, lifting the deposit rate to 2.25% as Middle East-driven energy costs pushed headline inflation to 3.2% in May before easing to 2.8% in June, with growth downgraded to 0.8% amid weaker confidence.

The Fed, under new Chair Kevin Warsh, held rates at 3.50%-3.75% for a fourth straight meeting, with a hawkish dot-plot shift initially fueling hike expectations. However, the June employment report?released on July 3rd?showed nonfarm payrolls rising by just 57K against 110K expected, the weakest reading in four months, while the unemployment rate dipped to 4.2% only due to a labor force participation rate falling to 61.5%, its lowest level in five years.

The result: both central banks' communications currently lean hawkish, but with the Fed's data now sending mixed signals. Which side ultimately prevails could well set the tone for EUR/USD's trend into year-end.
