USD/CAD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD: Key levels heading into NFP

GBP/JPY bears ride the wave of divergent BOE, BOJ policy expectations
A dovish BOE cut and bets that a BOJ hike could be much closer than expected saw GBP/JPY lead the way lower on Thursday. But price action across the board suggests it could be year of the yen.

So how good is APD at predicting NFP, anyway?
With the monthly ADP payrolls figures delivering a solid set of data ahead of Friday’s nonfarm payrolls report, I take a closer look to see if the ADP can help pick the direction of NFP.

EUR/JPY forecast: Strong Japanese wages boost yen, BoJ rate hike bets
Today, the USD/JPY hit fresh 2025 lows under 153.00, thanks largely to a weaker US dollar and Japanese data showing domestic wages rising at the fastest pace in 28 years. Among the JPY crosses, the EUR/JPY downside remains compelling, given a not-so-strong euro. Therefore, the EUR/JPY forecast looks at least moderately bearish as things stand.

USD/JPY: Traders May Be Underestimating BoJ’s Next Move
Japan’s economy is showing resilience, with wages rising and the services sector gaining momentum.

NZD/USD: Surging Unemployment Keeps RBNZ on Aggressive Rate Cut Path
New Zealand’s labour market is weakening fast, with unemployment hitting a four-year high and wage pressures fading. Markets are betting the RBNZ will slash rates again, but will it be enough to shift the Kiwi’s fate, or is offshore sentiment still in control?

Canadian dollar forecast: USD/CAD and EUR/CAD – Technical Tuesday
FX pairs like the EUR/CAD may ease back further following yesterday’ decision by Trump to delay the tariffs on Canada. That decision means the near-term Canadian dollar forecast is no longer bearish, making the EUR/CAD an ideal pair to look for bearish setups on for CAD bulls. Meanwhile, USD/CAD is beginning to look rather interesting.

GBP/USD forecast: Tariffs, US jobs and BoE rate decision in focus – Currency Pair of the Week
Although the pound has fallen along with other major currencies, it may be able to regain its poise with Trump suggesting that a deal "can be worked out" with the UK. This means the risks to the GBP/USD forecast are less pronounced than the likes of the Canadian dollar or the euro.
