Retail sales data for April showed a modest increase of just 0.1%, beating market expectations but falling well short of the 1.5% rise seen in the previous month. This marks a potential turning point, indicating that U.S. consumers may be starting to pull back on spending. At the same time, the Producer Price Index (PPI) fell by 0.5% on a monthly basis, signaling further easing of inflationary pressures at the wholesale level. Together, these figures raise concerns about underlying demand and reinforce the view that inflation may be cooling more rapidly than previously anticipated.

Meanwhile, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, speaking alongside Fed strategist Thomas Laubach, reiterated the importance of reassessing the Fed’s communication framework on inflation and employment. The market response to Powell’s remarks was muted, with investors shifting their focus toward potential currency interventions in Asia and the deteriorating tone of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.

Signs of cooling inflation were further confirmed by the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) figures. Both headline and core CPI rose by just 0.2% in April, coming in below consensus forecasts of a 0.3% monthly increase. On an annual basis, core inflation—which excludes volatile food and energy prices—remained steady at 2.8%, showing little momentum toward renewed price acceleration.

This softer inflation print has once again drawn market attention to the Federal Reserve’s next moves. While a rate cut in the immediate term remains unlikely, the latest data has fueled speculation that policy easing may be on the horizon. According to the CME FedWatch tool, the probability of a rate cut at the June 18 meeting remains low at just 8.2%, but this rises to 38.6% for July and jumps to 77.1% for September—suggesting that investors expect easing to begin in the second half of the year.

Still, cautionary voices persist. Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee warned that even existing tariffs could continue to place upward pressure on prices. Analysts at Deutsche Bank added that any softening in U.S.-China trade tensions is unlikely to trigger a meaningful shift in the Fed’s current policy stance.

Across the Atlantic, European Central Bank (ECB) policymaker and Governor of the Bank of France François Villeroy de Galhau stated on Wednesday that protectionist policies announced by the Trump administration are likely to reignite inflation in the U.S., not in Europe—setting the stage for a potential ECB rate cut by summer. Looking ahead, the main driver for the euro remains the stalled trade negotiations between the European Union and the United States.

During European trading hours, German Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil addressed parliament, stating that the EU is fully prepared with countermeasures should the talks with Washington collapse. However, he emphasized that Europe’s priority remains reaching an agreement with the U.S. “We hope the negotiations yield a positive outcome,” Klingbeil said, adding, “We must respond to U.S. tariffs with unity and resolve.”

Meanwhile, revised Eurozone GDP data for the first quarter showed the economy expanding at a slightly slower pace of 0.3%, compared to the initial estimate and previous reading of 0.4%. On a year-over-year basis, growth held steady at 1.2%, in line with forecasts. Employment data also improved, with job growth rising 0.3% quarter-over-quarter from January to March, up from a preliminary reading of 0.1%.

Technical Analysis

EUR/USD has entered a corrective phase after reaching a local high of 1.1572 on April 21. Since then, the pair has struggled to make new highs and instead formed a series of lower lows. Moreover, the price has closed decisively below the 100- and 200-period moving averages—currently positioned at 1.1294 and 1.1232, respectively—suggesting the correction could deepen further, with potential downside targets near the 1.0952 level.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has failed to break above the 56 mark. While this level is typically viewed as neutral, in the context of a corrective move, it has previously marked turning points for renewed selling pressure. Should this pattern hold, sellers may re-enter from this region. On the flip side, a new higher high would invalidate the current bearish setup and could fuel further upside momentum.

Since May 6, USDCAD has been on an upward trajectory, now having recovered to the key psychological level of 1.4000. Recently, with the conclusion of trade agreements and an overall rebound in market sentiment, the market has generally calmed, with volatility subsiding.

Thus far, May has been a challenging month for the Canadian dollar. Trade between Canada and the United States has not shown any signs of alleviating the tense situation between the two countries. The renegotiation of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) appears to be taking longer than other international trade agreements for both nations. Meanwhile, the US dollar has shown signs of recovery, though it still faces resistance ahead.

According to informed sources, US officials engaged in global trade negotiations have not attempted to include monetary policy commitments in the agreements.

Given the volatility of the US dollar and its lack of safe-haven appeal, asset managers should seek greater diversification in their foreign exchange reserves, especially considering the noticeable trend of exiting the US dollar in April.

Technical Analysis

The recent rebound in USDCAD is based on the key support level of 1.3746 not being breached. Subsequently, bulls successfully broke through the MA20, signaling a renewed short-term upside interest.

Momentum indicators have begun to rise, reinforcing the ongoing bullish momentum. However, for a genuine rebound to take place, bulls must decisively break through the near-term high of 1.4180. If achieved, the medium-term downtrend targeting the 1.3472 level would be invalidated.

It is important to note that the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is still hovering below the neutral 50 level, indicating that bulls have not yet fully taken control. Deeper pullbacks may find firmer support near the rising trendline from December 2023 at 1.3645. If the psychological level of 1.3600 is also breached, more aggressive selling could occur, heading towards the double-bottom area of 1.3472 from August to September.

Overall, USDCAD has found some bullish momentum in the short term, but unless it can decisively break through the key resistance of 1.4180, the rebound may be short-lived.

The New Zealand Dollar (NZD) fell sharply on Thursday, succumbing to risk-off sentiment and a firmer US Dollar, even as the domestic government unveiled a targeted NZ$190 million ($112 million) social investment fund aimed at improving long-term social outcomes. While the initiative underscores a fiscally responsible and data-driven policy direction, it failed to offset the pressure stemming from global macroeconomic headwinds and the enduring strength of the Greenback, particularly following comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

At the time of writing, NZD/USD was trading at 0.5870, down 0.43% on the day, marking a reversal from earlier week gains. The Kiwi’s retreat underscores the market’s preference for safety as a murky economic outlook in both the US and New Zealand clouds sentiment.

In a development that typically might favor risk currencies like the NZD, US inflation data came in cooler than expected. April’s Producer Price Index (PPI) rose just 0.1% month-on-month versus expectations of a 0.3% increase, while core PPI eased to 0.2% from the prior 0.3%. On the surface, this reinforced bets that the Fed may be nearing its pivot point in the tightening cycle, potentially paving the way for rate cuts later this year.

However, the market reaction was far from straightforward.

Offsetting the soft inflation print, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell delivered a subtly hawkish message, acknowledging that the Fed may need to adapt its policy framework to accommodate persistent and more frequent supply shocks — a nod to the structural changes underway in the post-pandemic global economy. “The framework needs to be robust to many circumstances, including a world where supply shocks may be more frequent and persistent,” Powell stated in remarks reported by Reuters.

His comments, while not overtly dovish, signaled a Federal Reserve still cautious about loosening policy too soon. This nuanced tone, combined with weaker-than-expected US retail sales figures (flat in April vs. 0.4% forecast), underpinned modest support for the US Dollar. Market participants interpreted Powell’s stance as an affirmation that the Fed is in no rush to ease, especially with inflation expectations still delicately balanced.

On the home front, the New Zealand government’s pre-budget announcement of a NZ$190 million social investment fund was met with a muted market response. Finance Minister Nicola Willis emphasized that the initiative aims to create “smarter, earlier” interventions to improve outcomes for vulnerable communities — a signal of Wellington’s continued commitment to data-led governance and fiscal prudence.

“It’s about government investing earlier, smarter, and with much more transparent measurement of the impact interventions are having,” said Willis.

Despite the program’s social merit and long-term focus, currency traders were unmoved, as the short-term economic outlook remains dominated by global factors, including China’s faltering recovery and uncertainty over the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s (RBNZ) policy trajectory. Investors are awaiting concrete signs of domestic economic resilience before pricing in any substantial upside for the Kiwi.

Traders are now turning their attention to a pair of crucial domestic data points that could influence the NZD's next directional bias. Thursday evening’s release of the Business NZ Performance of Manufacturing Index (PMI), last seen at 53.2, will be scrutinized for signs of whether New Zealand’s industrial momentum is holding up. A soft reading could further dampen sentiment toward the Kiwi.

More critical, perhaps, is Friday’s RBNZ two-year inflation expectations survey. Previously at 2.06%, an uptick could reignite market expectations for prolonged RBNZ hawkishness — a possible support pillar for NZD. However, if expectations ease, it would reinforce dovish bets and increase downside risk.

Technical Analysis

From a technical perspective, NZD/USD has surrendered gains from earlier this week, falling back below the psychological 0.5900 threshold. Price action is struggling to maintain traction above the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement at 0.5900 and 78.6% Fibonacci extension at 0.5930. This area now acts as immediate resistance.

If downside momentum persists, the next key support lies around 0.5820 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement), with further weakness exposing 0.5740–0.5760, a zone defined by the 78.6% retracement and full Fibonacci extension levels.

Still, the decline could prove corrective rather than impulsive. Should NZD/USD hold above the weekly low of 0.5847 and manage to reclaim the 0.5900–0.5930 region, bulls may target a retest of the monthly high at 0.6023. A breakout beyond the April peak at 0.6029 and the November high at 0.6038 would clear the way toward 0.6070 — a key Fibonacci extension zone.

The Pound Sterling surged on Thursday, climbing toward the 1.3300 mark against the US Dollar during European trading, buoyed by stronger-than-expected UK GDP data and broader weakness in the greenback ahead of a closely watched speech by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

Sterling's rebound comes despite signs of industrial weakness, as investors weigh robust economic expansion in Britain against a backdrop of monetary policy uncertainty in the United States, where the Federal Reserve is increasingly seen as nearing the peak of its tightening cycle.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) reported that the United Kingdom's economy expanded by 0.7% in the first quarter of 2025, exceeding consensus forecasts of 0.6%. This marks a sharp rebound from the previous quarter, when GDP growth was stagnant, and signals growing resilience in the face of elevated interest rates and inflation pressures.

On an annual basis, UK GDP rose 1.3%, marginally ahead of expectations (1.2%) though slightly slower than the 1.5% pace recorded in Q4 2024. The monthly breakdown showed that GDP increased by 0.2% in March, outperforming economists' expectations for flat growth. The surprise upside in GDP data has added fresh momentum to the Pound, as it implies that the Bank of England (BoE) may hold off on any immediate policy easing.

BoE Monetary Policy Committee member Catherine Mann reinforced that message earlier this week. Speaking to CNBC, Mann said monetary policy should remain restrictive due to persistent inflation risks and a still-resilient labor market. Despite recent softness in job growth, Mann emphasized that the market is undergoing a “non-linear adjustment,” not a dramatic slowdown, and warned against loosening policy prematurely.

However, the UK’s growth narrative isn’t without blemish. Manufacturing and Industrial Production contracted more than expected in March, with month-on-month figures showing a decline of 0.8% and 0.7%, respectively. Both indicators undershot the consensus forecast for a 0.5% contraction, suggesting that while consumer and service sectors are holding up, the industrial side remains under pressure—likely a consequence of persistent supply-side constraints and trade uncertainty.

Still, the broader macro picture, bolstered by strong GDP and a resilient services sector, is helping the Pound fend off downside risks. Markets are recalibrating expectations for the BoE’s interest rate path, which now appears increasingly tilted toward a prolonged pause rather than an imminent rate cut.

Meanwhile, in the U.S., traders are closely watching Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s upcoming remarks for any indication of a shift in tone following this week’s softer-than-expected Consumer Price Index (CPI) report. April CPI data showed inflation cooling more than anticipated, adding to speculation that the Fed might pivot to rate cuts later in the year, even as officials maintain a hawkish front.

Fed Vice Chair Philip Jefferson acknowledged the softer CPI numbers in remarks on Wednesday, describing the Fed’s current policy stance as “moderately restrictive.” However, he warned of looming uncertainties tied to new economic policies enacted by President Trump’s administration—including the impact of recently imposed tariffs. “If the increases in tariffs announced so far are sustained, they are likely to interrupt progress on disinflation and generate at least a temporary rise in inflation,” Jefferson cautioned.

According to the CME FedWatch Tool, markets now largely rule out a rate cut before the September meeting. Nonetheless, two 25 basis-point cuts are still priced in for 2025, contingent on continued disinflation and labor market moderation

Upcoming U.S. economic releases may sway market sentiment further. April’s Producer Price Index (PPI) is expected to show a slowdown in price pressures, with forecasts pointing to a 2.5% year-on-year rise in headline PPI, down from 2.7% in March. Core PPI, which strips out food and energy, is also projected to decelerate to 3.1% from 3.3%.

In tandem, retail sales—a key gauge of consumer spending—are projected to be flat in April, following a robust 1.5% jump in March. A soft retail print would likely reinforce the view that the U.S. economy is cooling, giving further impetus to the Fed doves.

Adding to the risk-on sentiment is the temporary truce between the U.S. and China. The two countries recently agreed to a 90-day pause on tariff escalation, cutting some levies by as much as 115% and pledging further negotiations. The reprieve, though fragile, has alleviated market fears of an imminent escalation in the trade conflict, offering breathing room for equities and risk currencies alike.

Technical Analysis

From a technical standpoint, the GBP/USD pair has reclaimed bullish momentum, trading back within a range previously capped between 1.32325 and 1.34155. After breaking below the 1.32325 mark, the pair staged a convincing recovery with a structure flip, signaling potential for further upside.

Should price action continue to hold above this range and confirm a clean retest, traders may target a revisit of the 1.34155 zone. A successful breach could pave the way for fresh yearly highs. For now, bulls are eyeing a 1:3 risk-reward long setup, anticipating renewed buying interest amid supportive macro tailwinds.

The current bullish thesis for Bitcoin is driven by two factors: the policy dividends following the U.S.-China trade deals and expectations of improved U.S. dollar liquidity. The newly enacted agreement between the two nations has reduced peak tariffs from 125% to normal levels, alleviating global supply chain pressures and mitigating U.S. import-driven inflation risks. This development indirectly supports the possibility of a Fed rate cut this year. Although the market's expectation for a September rate cut has declined to 51.8%, the core CPI has cooled for three consecutive months (April YoY: 2.3%), leaving room for a monetary policy pivot. If tonight's U.S. retail sales data (expected MoM: 0.8%) falls short of expectations, it could further reinforce easing expectations and drive a revaluation of risk assets.

Meanwhile, institutional capital flows indicate sustained long-term bullish sentiment. Despite recent single-day outflows from Bitcoin ETFs (e.g., Fidelity's FBTC saw an outflow of $96 million), cumulative inflows stay at $5 billion, with giants like BlackRock continuing to expand their holdings.

Market sentiment, as measured by the Crypto Fear & Greed Index, stands at 70 (indicating "greed"), slightly down from the previous 73 but still elevated. This suggests persistent optimism among market participants but also hints at potential overheating risks.

Technical Analysis

Awaiting Pullback for Long Positions, Potential to Reach New All-Time High _1

As reflected by the daily chart, Bitcoin has rebounded strongly after a deep correction, bottoming at 77,000 and resuming its upward trajectory. It recently tested the 61.8% Fibonacci extension (105,894) but faced resistance, showing signs of a potential pullback.

Regarding key indicators, the RSI is in neutral-to-strong territory but has retreated slightly, signaling weakened short-term upward momentum. Besides, the MACD remains bullish, though the histogram height has declined. In general, these indicators suggest an increased likelihood of a short-term pullback.

Bitcoin may retreat to the 100,000 support level. However, given its recent upward trend along the 20-day moving average (MA20), a break below 100,000 could see a deeper correction toward 98,000.

Buying after a retracement is recommended.

Gold prices plummeted to $3120 during the Asian session on Thursday, marking the lowest level since April 10. Since peaking in May, gold has witnessed a depreciation exceeding 8%.

The abatement of geopolitical tensions is poised to exacerbate bearish sentiment within the gold market. Concurrently, the mutual revocation of most equivalent tariffs by China and the U.S., coupled with the ongoing formulation of potential agreement details with India, Japan, and South Korea, has diminished the allure of gold as a safe-haven asset.

Moreover, with the easing of recessionary concerns in the U.S. economy, investors have been progressively paring back their expectations for a more aggressive easing stance from the Federal Reserve. This shift has been instrumental in driving up U.S. Treasury yields, which, in turn, should provide tailwinds for the U.S. dollar and place a lid on the upside potential for non-yielding gold prices.

In the run-up to the U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) release later today, traders are likely to adopt a more cautious stance and refrain from making substantial bets. Additionally, remarks by Federal Reserve Chair Powell at the opening of the second Thomas Laubach Research Conference could introduce a meaningful catalyst for gold prices.

Descent Nears the Psychological Threshold of 3000 _1

Technical Analysis

The onset of a new wave of risk appetite early Thursday propelled gold prices below the $3150 mark, signaling that the significant correction from the $3500 peak would persist in generating bearish momentum.

Despite the Relative Strength Index (RSI) venturing into negative territory, the overarching downward trending structure remains intact. Any attempts at a rebound that surpass the near-term highs would be construed as a "bull trap."

Based on the equidistant pattern analysis, the current gold price decline is poised to test the psychological threshold of $3000, followed by a potential stabilization and subsequent rebound.

Silver (XAG/USD) came under renewed pressure in early Asian trading on Thursday, shedding its recent bullish momentum and trading near the $32.00 per troy ounce mark. The pullback comes as appetite for defensive assets fades amid a notable easing in global trade tensions and a recalibration of monetary policy expectations from the Federal Reserve.

In a move that has reverberated across global markets, both Washington and Beijing have taken concrete steps toward de-escalating long-standing tariff hostilities. According to diplomatic and trade officials familiar with the matter, the United States has agreed to cut tariffs on a range of Chinese goods—from a punitive 145% down to 30%. In a reciprocal gesture, China will slash tariffs on U.S. imports from 125% to just 10%.

The dramatic reduction in cross-border trade barriers is viewed as a material shift in bilateral relations and signals renewed diplomatic engagement between the world's two largest economies. President Donald Trump, speaking in a televised Fox News interview, hailed the progress as "remarkable" and suggested that the White House is actively exploring a potential direct summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping to finalize a broader trade accord.

Michael Hart, President of the American Chamber of Commerce in China, echoed this optimism, stating that "a rollback in tariffs could reinvigorate supply chains, reduce input costs, and encourage foreign investment on both sides." Risk-sensitive markets responded in kind, with equity futures climbing and Treasury yields nudging higher, further undercutting demand for non-yielding assets like silver.

Compounding the downward pressure on silver is a discernible shift in expectations for U.S. monetary policy. Investors had previously priced in multiple interest rate cuts in 2025, anticipating a more accommodative Fed amid tepid inflation data. However, the improving global risk backdrop has prompted markets to walk back some of these dovish bets.

Still, softer-than-expected consumer inflation data for April injected a dose of ambiguity into the policy outlook. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported a year-over-year increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) of 2.3%—below March’s 2.4% and slightly softer than economists’ consensus. Core CPI, which strips out volatile food and energy prices, rose 2.8%, matching expectations. On a monthly basis, both measures posted a 0.2% uptick.

While the inflation data briefly softened the U.S. Dollar and lent marginal support to precious metals, the underlying narrative remains one of waning inflation pressures in the short term—especially before the new round of tariffs takes effect in May.

Looking ahead, investor focus is shifting to Friday’s release of the U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) and the University of Michigan’s Consumer Sentiment Survey—two high-frequency indicators that could shape market expectations around the Fed’s June meeting.

Technical Analysis

From a technical standpoint, silver has broken below a critical intraday support level near $31.90, halting its recent rally. This move triggered a corrective bounce as the metal sought to unload its oversold conditions on the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which had slipped into extreme territory.

Despite some early signs of a rebound, the broader technical setup remains fragile. XAG/USD continues to trade beneath the 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA50), suggesting persistent bearish pressure on the short-term charts. Moreover, chart analysts are closely monitoring the development of a descending triangle pattern—a formation typically associated with downside breakouts. A decisive break below $31.90 would confirm the bearish continuation and potentially expose silver to further declines toward the $30.50 region.

However, should silver manage to stabilize above the current support zone and reclaim EMA50 territory, it could challenge immediate resistance near $32.60, followed by the psychological $33.00 threshold.
