Analysis of major currency trends

U.S. dollar: As of press time, the U.S. dollar index is hovering around 99.35. Against the backdrop of the escalation of the U.S.-China trade war, the U.S. dollar is recovering, with Trump threatening to impose 100% additional tariffs on Chinese goods on November 1. The retaliatory measure edoyoko.comes in response to China's increasing restrictions on rare earths and the imposition of port fees on U.S. ships. From a technical perspective, the initial resistance level for the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) is found at 99.563. A break above this level could open an upward channel for the index towards the August 1 high of 100.257. On the downside, support is first seen at 98.714 (Fibonacci level), followed by 98.238 and the 50-day moving average at 98.011. Short-term momentum favors the bulls, but geopolitical risks and unwinding of carry trades could limit the index's upside in the short term.

Euro: As of press time, EUR/USD is hovering around 1.1557. EUR/USD fell 0.41% during the North American trading session on Monday due to the decline of the US dollar (USD) pared some of the losses incurred on Friday as U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to impose additional tariffs on Chinese goods. EUR/USD started Monday's session on a lower note, falling below 1.1600 as President Macron reappointed Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu amid ongoing political unrest in France. Uncertainty over France could weigh on the euro and extend the dollar's gains against the edoyoko.common currency. Although disagreements between central banks continue, this suggests that further gains for the EUR/USD pair are still on the cards. Technically, EUR/USD has turned bearish in the short term after breaking below the 100-day simple moving average (SMA) at 1.1633 and the 1.1600 mark. On Friday, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) fell below the neutral 50 level, indicating that downside momentum is building. Key support is at 1.1550, followed by 1.1500, below which the August 1 cycle low around 1.1391 will be exposed. On the upside, resistance lies at 1.1600, 1.1650 and 1.1700. A decisive break above 1.1700 could pave the way for a test of 1.1800 and the July 1 high of 1.1830.

Across the pond, the U.S. economic calendar will include speeches from Federal Reserve Governor Michelle Bowman, who has turned dovish since mid-July, as well as speeches from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell and Governor Christopher Waller. Later, Susan Collins of the Boston Fed will also speak. Technically, GBP/USD is trading with a neutral bias, with price action remaining below the 20-, 50-, and 100-day simple moving averages (SMAs), indicating sellers are in control in the short and medium term. In addition, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is showing a bearish trend, with downward fluctuations, indicating that the pound may fall further.

2. Standard Chartered Bank: If the U.S. economic momentum continues, further interest rate cuts may be difficult to achieve in 2026

Standard Chartered Bank analysts Nicholas Chia and Steve Englander said in a report that although the Federal Reserve is expected to continue to cut interest rates in the rest of 2025, if the U.S. economic momentum remains strong, the possibility of further interest rate cuts in 2026 will decrease. Two analysts pointed out that in the medium to long term, this situation could push up the U.S. dollar and U.S. Treasury yields.
