USDJPY consolidated for much of last week, holding the bulk of the NFP losses. Price has bounced, but recoveries are shallow at this stage. This has allowed a previously overbought condition to unwind, and keeps the downside argument in focus. Prices are trading either side of the 147.61 20-day EMA, and the inability to build a base here will be a concern. A clear break of this support zone would undermine the recent bull theme. A break of last week’s 150.92 high would resume the uptrend.
The Euribor implied terminal rate is currently 1.88%, a touch below yesterday’s 1.89% level but still at its highest since April 2 (i.e. just before the initial US Liberation Day tariff announcement). With the ECB’s easing cycle now near (or potentially at) its close, material swings in terminal rate expectations will be driven by the data – particularly on the impact Q1/Q2 tariff related uncertainty has had on domestic demand and inflation.

EUR/GBP corrected lower on the BoE rate decision, which sent prices through the weekly low. This weakness has persisted, with a pullback low yesterday testing the first support into the 50-day EMA of 0.8614. A clear break here would strengthen the bearish threat. More broadly, the trend set-up is bullish. Moving average studies remain in a bull-mode position highlighting a clear uptrend. Key resistance and the bull trigger is at 0.8769, the Jul 27 high.
