The tariff topic continues to dominate and after last week’s open following Trump comments on tariffs, traders should be on guard for more volatility into next week.

USD/CAD saw pandemonium on the open as the pair pushed a fresh 20-plus year high before scaling back. Tariffs have been delayed but not eliminated, and the focus now shifts to employment reports out of both the U.S. and Canada set for release tomorrow.

Gold saw considerable drama at the $2,000/oz level and now $3,000/oz is almost in the picture. Could that be a game-changer for gold prices?

Fibonacci is a popular way of finding support and resistance levels across financial markets. This article explains the background while using a live example in EUR/USD.

Trump volatility is back and the USD has put in wide swings on the back of the tariff topic, and Europe still seems in the President’s crosshairs which could keep the DXY volatility flowing.

USD/JPY has shown a higher-low on the daily chart and at this point it seems to have evaded much of the tariff drama that’s engulfed other USD-pairs.

Trump tariffs are zeroing in on Europe although there’s still a large amount of uncertainty. The pair responded to the threat with a strong sell-off at the open, that it’s now trying to claw back.

Gold bulls are back in 2025 and January was a green monthly bar following two months of pullback to finish 2024.

Stocks continued to rally last week with another drive after President Trump’s inauguration. Now we get to hear from the Fed and then Friday brings an important piece of inflation data.

Yen-weakness is showing prominently against both the Euro and British Pound after the BoJ rate hike, and USD/JPY has held a major spot of support at 155.00.

CAD-weakness has helped to bring a price increase for Tesla products in Canada, and this serves as example of how a weak currency can sow the seeds of inflation.

It was a brutal start to 2025 for GBP/USD the past week and a half has been a bit more optimistic. But this bullish channel may turn out to be a bear flag.

Gold has been on a rapid recovery since the Q4 pullback and that move is now testing a level that bulls had difficulty sustaining above back in October.

The USD is starting Trump’s term with a pullback, so far, and that’s helped to boost equity markets following last week’s massive SPX rally.

USD/CAD set a fresh four-year-high late in the week and bulls retain control as President-elect Trump is set to be inaugurated on Monday.

The U.S. Dollar just finished its strongest quarter in more than nine years, but a continuation of that theme may not be a great thing for U.S. equities, or the EUR/USD pair.

Yen-strength showed up this morning as USD/JPY pushed down to a fresh 2025 low. And while DXY has recovered most of the CPI sell-off, USD/JPY hasn’t, at least not yet.
