EUR/USD – Holding its Weight
EUR/USD is reclaiming ground after two red sessions. Price bounced off the $1.16550 handle and now hovers near $1.17 resistance — a big level traders are watching closely. Momentum remains cautious ahead of August’s tariff deadline. A break above $1.17 could open the door to 1.1800, while support sits around 1.1600
Fundamentally, the Euro’s strength came off the back of Trump slapping a 30% tariff on EU imports. Despite the risk-off tone in equities, the Euro caught a bid — likely fueled by traders betting on continued Dollar weakness and limited Fed runway.
The Euro's bounce may stick if no new headlines hit, but the tariff standoff and upcoming

GBP/USD – Slipping Toward Support
GBP/USD is drifting lower, now trading near 1.35000 and creeping closer to the well-established support zone at 1.34000.
Fundamentally, Sterling continues to underperform as concerns grow around the UK’s limited fiscal headroom. According to ING, weak labor data or softer inflation this week could fuel calls for the BOE to accelerate rate cuts — adding more downside pressure.
Meanwhile, the US Dollar faces its own catalyst load, with a wave of data due. The consensus leans toward hotter inflation, meaning stronger prints could push USD higher and deepen GBP losses.
GBP/USD is hovering just above support, and the direction may hinge on who delivers the bigger surprise — the UK or the US.

EdgeFinder’s US Economic Heatmap
Before we head into a week, it’s worth taking a glance at the US Economic Heatmap. While the Dollar has seen a relief rally since the strong jobs data, the next round of fundamental releases could shift the picture.
Right now, the map shows mixed momentum — a solid labor market but soft spots in inflation and consumer metrics.
CPI, PPI, Retail Sales, and Michigan Consumer Sentiment — all expected to favor the Dollar. But "expected" doesn't always mean "market-moving." A surprise in either direction could shift Fed rate expectations, impact yields, and ultimately drive DXY and risk sentiment. We'll be watching to see how the heatmap evolves after these prints hit.

NASDAQ - No Ceiling in Sight
Nasdaq continues its climb, now trading near $23,000 and printing fresh all-time highs. After clearing the $22,000 resistance, price hasn’t looked back — offering little in the way of clean pullback entries. With no historical resistance levels left, it’s uncharted territory.
Fundamentally, the broader market has remained resilient despite headline pressure — from tariff escalations, geopolitical tensions, internal political concerns, and heavy speculative bets against it. Through it all, equities have powered higher, brushing off risk and narrowing focus back on the hard data.
With U.S. CPI up next, markets are watching closely. This print could reshape expectations around the Fed’s timeline. If inflation comes in hot, rate cut hopes may get pushed out — if not, risk assets might keep running. Either way, this leg of the rally is running light on resistance, but data will decide direction.

USD/JPY - Back to Where It All Started
USD/JPY is trading just shy of 148.000, nearing the highs seen before the April 2nd tariff headlines shook the market. The pair has shown notable relative strength compared to other Dollar pairs, and now faces a key resistance level at 148.000 — a spot traders are watching closely.
Fundamentally, today’s U.S. CPI release is the main driver. The print could shape the Fed’s rate cut timeline. A hotter-than-expected number could give the Fed a reason to stay on hold longer, keeping the Dollar bid. A cooler CPI, on the other hand, might accelerate expectations for a cut — putting pressure on USD.
This release will offer early clues on whether interest rate divergence between the U.S. and Japan will widen or compress. A wider spread extends the life of the carry trade, supporting the pair. A narrower spread weakens that appeal — and could invite a pullback.

EdgeFinder 's CPI Chart - Turning Point or Continuation?
Today’s spotlight is on U.S. CPI — a key inflation gauge that could shift the market narrative. This is the Fed’s preferred metric to track inflationary trends. It measures the average change in prices excluding food and energy, helping policymakers focus on underlying inflation.
We’re currently sitting at 2.4%, the same level where inflation pivoted higher last October. The Fed’s target remains 2%, and anything above that keeps rate cuts on ice. Today’s print could either validate patience — or open the door for easing.
A hot CPI print could reinforce the Fed’s cautious stance, supporting the Dollar and pressuring equities. A cooler read would be a green light for rate cut speculators — potentially weakening the Dollar and lifting risk assets.
Let’s see how the EdgeFinder adjusts as the data hits.

EUR/USD – Post-CPI Breakout
EUR/USD dropped 85 pips after yesterday’s mixed CPI report, snapping out of its descending channel and finding support at 1.16000. That level held briefly in the past on lower timeframes — making it a key level to watch. A break below could open the door to 1.15000, while a bounce higher could invite a retest of 1.18000.
Fundamentally, the Dollar’s next move hinges on this week’s remaining data: PPI, Retail Sales, Housing Starts, and Michigan Consumer Sentiment. On the Euro side, markets are still digesting the 30% US tariff set to kick in August 1st.
Upcoming US data will be the catalyst for whether EUR/USD sees follow-through or stalls here.

US10Y – Sticky Again
The US 10-Year Yield is holding firm above 4.48%, sitting near a five-week high. Yields climbed Tuesday after mixed CPI data prompted traders to ease up on their Fed rate cut bets.
While headline inflation came in line with higher, core CPI softened, adding uncertainty to the outlook. Still, the Fed isn’t ready to pivot just yet. Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan emphasized the need to keep rates steady longer, especially with the added price pressures coming from Trump’s new tariffs.
Today’s PPI release will offer more insight. If producer prices show signs of acceleration, it could reinforce the case for a higher-for-longer environment.
Markets are now pricing in fewer cuts this year, with September odds just above 50%.
Yields at these levels are a key compass for rate expectations — and they’ll continue to be in focus as more data rolls in.

EdgeFinder's EU Economic Heatmap
The Euro has seen some downside this week — with a mixed CPI reaction and fresh tariffs from the US adding pressure.
The EdgeFinder’s EU Economic Heatmap still paints a fairly resilient picture. Growth, PMIs, and employment change all surprised to the upside, while the CPI sits at the ECB’s target of 2%. The lone weak spot? A slight uptick in unemployment to 6.3%.
Despite near-term selling, 83% of recent Eurozone data points have been classified as bullish for both the Euro and stocks. While markets are focused on geopolitics and short-term headlines, the underlying economic strength may matter more over time.
