- The South Korean Won ticks up against the US Dollar as BoK raises interest rates for the first time in three-and-a-half years.
- The BoK was expected to hike policy rates to counter persistent inflationary pressures.
- Traders have dialed down the Fed’s interest rate hike expectations as US inflation cools down.
The South Korean Won (KRW) reflects broader strength against the US Dollar (USD) as the Bank of Korea (BoK) delivers its first interest rate hike in three-and-a-half years, raising rates by 25 basis points (bps) to 2.75%. The USD/KRW pair gives back slight early gains and ticks down to near 1,484.68 in the Asian trade on Thursday.
The pair will likely remain firm as the BoK has kept the door open for further interest rate hikes, in an attempt to stabilize a slumping KRW and tame persistent price pressures. “We will respond until inflation stabilizes to BoK's target level,” BoK Governor Hyun-Song Shin said in a statement. Shin added, “Demand side price pressure may need careful monitoring as it can turn into stronger inflationary pressure if robust increase in Gross Domestic Income (GDI) sustained.”
The Asian currency has been outperforming the US Dollar for over two weeks, as market participants had already priced in an interest rate hike by the BoK.
Meanwhile, the US Dollar strives to regain ground after a sharp sell-off in the last two trading days. As of writing, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which gauges the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, trades marginally higher to near 100.50.
The USD Index fell sharply in the past two trading days as soft United States (US) inflation figures on both the retail and the wholesale level have forced traders to reconsider Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate expectations.
According to the CME FedWatch tool, the odds of the Fed delivering an interest rate hike in the July meeting have dropped significantly to 10.2% from 31% recorded a week ago.
US Dollar FAQs
The US Dollar (USD) is the official currency of the United States of America, and the ‘de facto’ currency of a significant number of other countries where it is found in circulation alongside local notes. It is the most heavily traded currency in the world, accounting for over 88% of all global foreign exchange turnover, or an average of $6.6 trillion in transactions per day, according to data from 2022. Following the second world war, the USD took over from the British Pound as the world’s reserve currency. For most of its history, the US Dollar was backed by Gold, until the Bretton Woods Agreement in 1971 when the Gold Standard went away.
The most important single factor impacting on the value of the US Dollar is monetary policy, which is shaped by the Federal Reserve (Fed). The Fed has two mandates: to achieve price stability (control inflation) and foster full employment. Its primary tool to achieve these two goals is by adjusting interest rates. When prices are rising too quickly and inflation is above the Fed’s 2% target, the Fed will raise rates, which helps the USD value. When inflation falls below 2% or the Unemployment Rate is too high, the Fed may lower interest rates, which weighs on the Greenback.
In extreme situations, the Federal Reserve can also print more Dollars and enact quantitative easing (QE). QE is the process by which the Fed substantially increases the flow of credit in a stuck financial system. It is a non-standard policy measure used when credit has dried up because banks will not lend to each other (out of the fear of counterparty default). It is a last resort when simply lowering interest rates is unlikely to achieve the necessary result. It was the Fed’s weapon of choice to combat the credit crunch that occurred during the Great Financial Crisis in 2008. It involves the Fed printing more Dollars and using them to buy US government bonds predominantly from financial institutions. QE usually leads to a weaker US Dollar.
Quantitative tightening (QT) is the reverse process whereby the Federal Reserve stops buying bonds from financial institutions and does not reinvest the principal from the bonds it holds maturing in new purchases. It is usually positive for the US Dollar.
- EUR/JPY near the 186.10 ascending triangle ceiling suggests building bullish pressure.
- The 14-day Relative Strength Index at 56 indicates positive, sustainable upward momentum.
- The currency cross could find the initial support at the nine-day EMA at 185.35.
EUR/JPY depreciates after three days of gains, trading around 185.90 during the Asian hours on Thursday. The currency cross is retaining a constructive bullish bias as it holds above both the nine-period and 50-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) around 56 suggests positive but not overextended momentum, hinting that buyers still control the near-term tone.
The daily chart technical analysis shows the EUR/JPY cross positioning near the upper boundary of an ascending triangle around 186.10, suggesting that price crowding right against that flat ceiling indicates that buyers are aggressively absorbing all selling pressure at that level. This positioning shows immense bullish pressure. Since the dips are getting shallower, staying near the top suggests a breakout above resistance is likely building up.
A decisive daily close above this upper boundary typically triggers a powerful bullish continuation, which could expose the all-time high of 187.95, which was recorded on April 17.
On the downside, primary support lies at the nine-day EMA at 185.35, followed by the 50-day EMA at 185.05. Further declines would put downward pressure on the EUR/JPY cross to test the ascending triangle’s lower boundary around 184.70. A break below the triangle would expose the four-month low of 181.87, recorded on March 16, and the six-month low of 180.81.

- DXY struggles to attract any meaningful buyers as signs of easing inflation temper Fed hike bets.
- Energy-driven inflation fears and escalating US-Iran tensions help limit losses for the Greenback.
- Traders now look to US economic data for some impetus amid a mixed fundamental backdrop.
The US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback against a basket of currencies, is seen consolidating around the 100.50 region during the Asian session on Thursday, close to the nearly four-week low touched the previous day. Receding US Federal Reserve (Fed) rate hike expectations favor USD bears, though energy-driven inflation fears and escalating US-Iran tensions help limit further losses.
Data released on Wednesday showed that the US Producer Price Index (PPI) fell 0.3% in June, compared to a revised 0.6% rise in the previous month. This comes on top of a soft US Consumer Price Index (CPI) report on Tuesday and eased concerns about the Fed keeping interest rates higher for an extended period. This, in turn, is seen as a key factor that acts as a headwind for the US Dollar (USD) and validates the near-term negative outlook.
On the geopolitical front, the conflict between the US and Iran has intensified sharply since the beginning of this week, with both sides carrying out fresh rounds of attacks. US forces launched new airstrikes on Wednesday, targeting Iranian missile and drone infrastructure. Tehran responded with retaliatory drone and missile attacks on US-linked military facilities across the region, which points to a deepening military confrontation.
US President Donald Trump further escalated tensions and warned that critical Iranian infrastructure, such as power plants and bridges, could be targeted if the situation continues to deteriorate. Furthermore, a US aircraft fired on an unladen oil tanker as it tried to break the naval blockade of Iranian ports. Meanwhile, Iran has effectively blockaded the Strait of Hormuz and threatened to expand disruptions to the Bab el-Mandeb strait.
This could severely affect maritime trade and global energy supply, which remains supportive of elevated oil prices and keeps the geopolitical risk premium in play. Moreover, bets for at least one 25-basis-points (bps) rate hike by the Fed remain firmly on the table, which, in turn, is holding back the USD bears from positioning for any further losses. Traders now look to the US macroeconomic releases for some impetus later this Thursday.

- USD/JPY edges lower to around 162.15 in Thursday’s Asian session.
- Japan’s Katayama said ready to take appropriate action on currency anytime as needed.
- Cooling US inflation curbs Fed rate hike bets.
The USD/JPY pair loses ground to near 162.15 during the Asian trading hours on Thursday. The Japanese Yen (JPY) strengthens against the US Dollar (USD) after verbal intervention from Japanese authorities. Traders await the release of the US June Retail Sales data later on Thursday for fresh impetus.
Traders remain on alert for possible intervention from Japanese officials. On Thursday, Japan’s Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama said that the authorities are ready to take appropriate action on currency anytime as needed. She added that the officials will track market trends and economic data to ensure fiscal sustainability.
Softer-than-expected US inflation data reinforced bets that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) can stay patient on interest rate hikes, weighing on the Greenback. Data released by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) on Wednesday showed that the US Producer Price Index (PPI) rose by 5.5% YoY in June, versus 6.0% in May (revised from 6.5%). This reading came in below the market consensus of 6.2%.
On a monthly basis, the PPI declined by 0.3%, compared to the 0.6% increase recorded in May (revised from 1.1%) and improved compared with the estimate for no change.
The probability for a rate hike in July was slashed to 9.6%, versus a 45% implied probability at the start of the week. Markets still see even odds of at least a 25 basis points (bps) increase in September, according to the CME FedWatch tool.
Japanese Yen FAQs
The Japanese Yen (JPY) is one of the world’s most traded currencies. Its value is broadly determined by the performance of the Japanese economy, but more specifically by the Bank of Japan’s policy, the differential between Japanese and US bond yields, or risk sentiment among traders, among other factors.
One of the Bank of Japan’s mandates is currency control, so its moves are key for the Yen. The BoJ has directly intervened in currency markets sometimes, generally to lower the value of the Yen, although it refrains from doing it often due to political concerns of its main trading partners. The BoJ ultra-loose monetary policy between 2013 and 2024 caused the Yen to depreciate against its main currency peers due to an increasing policy divergence between the Bank of Japan and other main central banks. More recently, the gradually unwinding of this ultra-loose policy has given some support to the Yen.
Over the last decade, the BoJ’s stance of sticking to ultra-loose monetary policy has led to a widening policy divergence with other central banks, particularly with the US Federal Reserve. This supported a widening of the differential between the 10-year US and Japanese bonds, which favored the US Dollar against the Japanese Yen. The BoJ decision in 2024 to gradually abandon the ultra-loose policy, coupled with interest-rate cuts in other major central banks, is narrowing this differential.
The Japanese Yen is often seen as a safe-haven investment. This means that in times of market stress, investors are more likely to put their money in the Japanese currency due to its supposed reliability and stability. Turbulent times are likely to strengthen the Yen’s value against other currencies seen as more risky to invest in.
- Silver struggles as rising US-Iran tensions in the Strait of Hormuz push oil prices higher, threatening prolonged Fed interest rates.
- June CPI and PPI reports fell below market expectations, temporarily easing immediate rate-hike fears.
- A shifting Fed outlook drops September rate-hike odds to 44%, though recent military escalations remain unpriced.
Silver price (XAG/USD) extends its losses for the second successive day, trading around $57.00 per troy ounce during the Asian hours on Thursday. The price of the non-yielding white metal faces significant challenges as rising US-Iran tensions boost oil prices and spark fresh inflation concerns. This geopolitical friction threatens to prolong the Federal Reserve's (Fed) higher interest rate environment.
The Guardian reported that the US Central Command (CENTCOM) launched another wave of strikes in a concerted effort to keep the critical Strait of Hormuz waterway open. In a direct escalation of hostilities, CENTCOM confirmed that US aircraft fired missiles into an oil tanker’s smokestack within the strategic passage, effectively disabling the vessel and keeping global markets on edge. When questioned on whether Iran faces a strict timeline before the US begins targeting domestic infrastructure, such as Iranian bridges, US President Donald Trump stated to reporters that he "does not like giving deadlines."
Amid this escalating conflict in the Middle East, traders are closely assessing the Federal Reserve's policy outlook in light of recently softened US inflation data. Tuesday’s US Consumer Price Index (CPI) declined to 3.5% in June from the three-year high of 4.2% set in May, coming in well below the market expectation of 3.8%. This weaker consumer inflation data initially helped reduce immediate concerns that the Fed would soon raise interest rates.
Further supporting this cooling trend, Wednesday's data showed the US Producer Price Index (PPI) declined to 5.5% on a yearly basis in June, down from 6% in May and below the market expectation of 6.2%. On a monthly basis, the PPI dropped by 0.3%, a notable shift from the 0.6% increase recorded in May and an improvement compared to analysts' estimates of no change.
Consequently, markets scaled back expectations for a Fed rate hike in September, with the implied probability falling to around 44% from 50% just a day earlier. However, because the interim peace agreement reached last month has effectively unraveled, June’s inflation data does not yet capture the economic impact of this latest military escalation between the US and Iran.
Silver FAQs
Silver is a precious metal highly traded among investors. It has been historically used as a store of value and a medium of exchange. Although less popular than Gold, traders may turn to Silver to diversify their investment portfolio, for its intrinsic value or as a potential hedge during high-inflation periods. Investors can buy physical Silver, in coins or in bars, or trade it through vehicles such as Exchange Traded Funds, which track its price on international markets.
Silver prices can move due to a wide range of factors. Geopolitical instability or fears of a deep recession can make Silver price escalate due to its safe-haven status, although to a lesser extent than Gold's. As a yieldless asset, Silver tends to rise with lower interest rates. Its moves also depend on how the US Dollar (USD) behaves as the asset is priced in dollars (XAG/USD). A strong Dollar tends to keep the price of Silver at bay, whereas a weaker Dollar is likely to propel prices up. Other factors such as investment demand, mining supply – Silver is much more abundant than Gold – and recycling rates can also affect prices.
Silver is widely used in industry, particularly in sectors such as electronics or solar energy, as it has one of the highest electric conductivity of all metals – more than Copper and Gold. A surge in demand can increase prices, while a decline tends to lower them. Dynamics in the US, Chinese and Indian economies can also contribute to price swings: for the US and particularly China, their big industrial sectors use Silver in various processes; in India, consumers’ demand for the precious metal for jewellery also plays a key role in setting prices.
Silver prices tend to follow Gold's moves. When Gold prices rise, Silver typically follows suit, as their status as safe-haven assets is similar. The Gold/Silver ratio, which shows the number of ounces of Silver needed to equal the value of one ounce of Gold, may help to determine the relative valuation between both metals. Some investors may consider a high ratio as an indicator that Silver is undervalued, or Gold is overvalued. On the contrary, a low ratio might suggest that Gold is undervalued relative to Silver.

- GBP/USD softens to around 1.3530 in Thursday’s early Asian session.
- The US military launched another wave of strikes against Iran.
- Rising tensions in the Middle East have prompted traders to increase bets on BoE rate hikes this year.
The GBP/USD pair declines to near 1.3530 during the early Asian session on Thursday. The British Pound (GBP) weakens against the US Dollar (USD) as renewed conflict and shipping disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz have reignited energy-driven inflation risks. Traders brace for the UK monthly Gross Domestic Product (GDP) report and the US Retail Sales data, which are due later on Thursday.
The US military said it has launched another wave of strikes against Iran in a further effort to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, per the Guardian. Explosions were reported late on Wednesday on Iran’s Qeshm Island, Bandar Abbas, and locations in the Sistan-Baluchestan province.
Iran’s top negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said that if Iran did not benefit from its memorandum of understanding with the United States, “We have no reason to adhere to such an understanding.” Rising tensions in the Middle East could boost a safe-haven currency such as the Greenback and act as a headwind for the major pair in the near term.
Andy Burnham is expected to be officially named UK Prime Minister on July 20, pushing the focus onto his choice of finance minister, given the nation's shaky public finances.
Traders raise their bets on rate hikes from the Bank of England (BoE) this year, given the expected impact on inflation from higher oil prices.
Money markets are fully pricing in a hike by the November policy meeting, with a second rate hike priced in by April 2027, according to Reuters. Before the US-Iran war, traders had been expecting the BoE to lower interest rates twice this year.
Pound Sterling FAQs
The Pound Sterling (GBP) is the oldest currency in the world (886 AD) and the official currency of the United Kingdom. It is the fourth most traded unit for foreign exchange (FX) in the world, accounting for 12% of all transactions, averaging $630 billion a day, according to 2022 data. Its key trading pairs are GBP/USD, also known as ‘Cable’, which accounts for 11% of FX, GBP/JPY, or the ‘Dragon’ as it is known by traders (3%), and EUR/GBP (2%). The Pound Sterling is issued by the Bank of England (BoE).
The single most important factor influencing the value of the Pound Sterling is monetary policy decided by the Bank of England. The BoE bases its decisions on whether it has achieved its primary goal of “price stability” – a steady inflation rate of around 2%. Its primary tool for achieving this is the adjustment of interest rates. When inflation is too high, the BoE will try to rein it in by raising interest rates, making it more expensive for people and businesses to access credit. This is generally positive for GBP, as higher interest rates make the UK a more attractive place for global investors to park their money. When inflation falls too low it is a sign economic growth is slowing. In this scenario, the BoE will consider lowering interest rates to cheapen credit so businesses will borrow more to invest in growth-generating projects.
Data releases gauge the health of the economy and can impact the value of the Pound Sterling. Indicators such as GDP, Manufacturing and Services PMIs, and employment can all influence the direction of the GBP. A strong economy is good for Sterling. Not only does it attract more foreign investment but it may encourage the BoE to put up interest rates, which will directly strengthen GBP. Otherwise, if economic data is weak, the Pound Sterling is likely to fall.
Another significant data release for the Pound Sterling is the Trade Balance. This indicator measures the difference between what a country earns from its exports and what it spends on imports over a given period. If a country produces highly sought-after exports, its currency will benefit purely from the extra demand created from foreign buyers seeking to purchase these goods. Therefore, a positive net Trade Balance strengthens a currency and vice versa for a negative balance.
- USD/CAD struggles to register any recovery from a four-week low, touched on Wednesday.
- Bullish oil prices underpin the Loonie and act as a headwind for the pair amid a weaker USD.
- US-Iran tensions and energy-driven inflation fears limit USD losses and support spot prices.
The USD/CAD pair is seen oscillating in a range during the Asian session on Thursday and consolidating its recent losses to a four-week low, touched the previous day. Spot prices currently trade just below mid-1.4000s, nearly unchanged for the day, though the fundamental backdrop favors bearish traders.
The US Dollar (USD) languishes near its lowest level since June 18 amid fading US Federal Reserve (Fed) rate hike expectations. Meanwhile, crude oil prices stand firm near a one-month high amid escalating US-Iran tensions and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. This, to a large extent, offsets the Bank of Canada's (BoC) cautious outlook and continues to underpin the commodity-linked Loonie, which validates the negative outlook for the USD/CAD pair.
Data released on Wednesday showed that the US Producer Price Index (PPI) fell 0.3% last month, compared to a revised 0.6% rise in the previous month. This comes on top of a soft US Consumer Price Index (CPI) report on Tuesday and forced traders to further pare Fed rate hike bets, which keeps USD bulls on the defensive. However, worries about energy-driven inflation remain in play amid the US-Iran standoff and supply disruptions in the Middle East.
The conflict between the US and Iran has intensified sharply since the beginning of this week, with both sides carrying out fresh rounds of attacks. US forces have launched new airstrikes targeting Iranian missile and drone infrastructure, while Tehran has responded with retaliatory drone and missile attacks on US-linked military facilities across the region. Moreover, a US aircraft fired on an unladen oil tanker as it tried to break the naval blockade of Iran’s ports.
This points to a deepening military confrontation. US President Donald Trump further escalated tensions and warned that critical Iranian infrastructure, such as power plants and bridges, could be targeted if the situation continues to deteriorate. This remains supportive of elevated crude oil prices and keeps potential interest rate hikes firmly on the table, which, in turn, holds back traders from placing fresh bearish bets on the USD/CAD pair and limits losses.
