(Corrects headline to "three day high hit")

• NY opened near 1.1525 after pair rallied in Asia and Europe trading hours

• Pair fell toward 1.1495 on US$ buying, firm US yields

• EUR/USD buyers emerged, pair turned positive, 1.1544 traded on EBS

• Halt in US$ buying, softer US yields, gold rally & drop in equities buoyed EUR/USD

• A three session high traded which helped technicals highlight upside risks

• Rising daily, monthly RSIs, hold above 10-DMA, rally after May doji are bull signals

Synopsis:

MUFG highlights the underperformance of the Japanese yen this week, driven not by domestic policy surprises but by broader geopolitical risks and rising global inflation expectations. Despite the tense backdrop, USD/JPY has moved modestly higher, while overall FX volatility remains subdued.

Key Points:

  • JPY Underperformance:
    The yen is the third weakest G10 currency this week, behind only the SEK and NOK, which were hit by dovish central bank rate cuts.

  • BoJ Impact Muted:
    The Bank of Japan’s meeting this week contained no major surprises, and policy continuity kept JPY reaction muted.

  • Geopolitical Drivers:
    Market attention shifted to rising Middle East tensions—specifically, the Israel-Iran conflict—and the possibility of US military involvement within a two-week horizon. This elevated risk sentiment but didn’t spark a large USD rally.

  • USD/JPY Higher on Oil and Yields:
    Rising crude oil prices have added to inflation expectations, supporting US Treasury yields, which pushed USD/JPY higher by just over 1 figure.

  • Limited UST & FX Market Reaction:
    Despite the narrative of rising inflation risk, US 2-year yields are flat on the week, suggesting markets are not pricing in a Fed shift. This has limited the scope of yen depreciation.

  • Volatility Still Subdued:
    MUFG’s G10 FX Volatility Index inched up to 9.1% but remains below its long-run average (10.2%), highlighting continued investor calm despite geopolitical risks.

Conclusion:

MUFG sees JPY lagging in part due to oil-driven inflation concerns and limited yield curve moves in the US. While geopolitical tensions raise headline risks, the muted reaction in rates and volatility markets keeps USD/JPY trading in a controlled range. Without a sharp move in UST yields, a significant JPY reversal is unlikely.

Synopsis:

BofA cautions that EUR/USD may be entering the latter, more volatile stage of its rally. Historically, the final third of euro uptrends tends to be choppier and more prone to corrections. Technical signals—including bearish momentum divergence and resistance near 1.16—suggest a potential pullback toward 1.1200–1.1065 before resuming higher toward long-term targets in the 1.18–1.20 range.

Key Points:

Late-Stage Rally Dynamics:

  • EUR/USD rallies often begin with sharp, directional moves but become choppier in the final phase.

  • 2023’s euro rally serves as a model for such behavior.

Bearish Momentum Divergence:

  • RSI divergence on the weekly chart is developing, indicating potential weakening in bullish momentum.

  • This is a typical precursor to correction or consolidation, even within a broader uptrend.

Resistance at 1.16:

  • On the daily chart, EUR/USD was repeatedly offered above 1.16, failing to close above it.

  • This signals supply building in the 1.16s, reducing short-term upside momentum.

Summer Correction Risk:

  • BofA sees a likely pullback to 1.1200 or even 1.1065, with the latter being the May low.

  • A modestly higher low than May could confirm ongoing bullish structure with temporary weakness.

Long-Term View Unchanged:

  • Despite short-term caution, BofA maintains a long-term target of 1.18–1.20, anchored by the 200-month SMA.

  • Time horizon remains early 2026, with the current period seen as a technical digestion phase.

Conclusion:

BofA warns that EUR/USD may be in the choppier final stage of its rally, with bearish divergence and supply above 1.16 signaling possible summer consolidation. A pullback to 1.1200–1.1065 would be consistent with the pattern and not negate the longer-term bullish trajectory toward 1.20 by early 2026.

By Robert Fullem  —  Jun 20 - 10:51 AM

GBP/USD is resisting downward pressure as dollar weakness reasserts itself, but sterling needs to chalk up some wins on the charts to regain upward momentum.

The pair has staged a swift rebound from its post-Fed dip to a one-month low of 1.3383, with the greenback slipping on Friday following dovish signals from Fed Governor Christopher Waller. Waller told CNBC that a rate cut could be justified by July if inflation remains tame and downplayed the potential inflationary impact of import tariffs — offering a clear contrast to Powell’s tone from Wednesday.

At present, sterling gains are largely riding on dollar softness rather than underlying pound strength. Earlier cable declines were driven by underwhelming UK May retail sales data. Market attention now turns to next week’s dense schedule of MPC appearances, with Governor Andrew Bailey due before the Lords Economic Affairs Committee on Tuesday and Chief Economist Huw Pill to speak Wednesday — events that could recalibrate expectations for the August BoE decision. Market odds are leaning slightly in favor of a rate cut at that meeting.

Though cable has reclaimed much of the ground lost following the Fed meeting, upside momentum is restrained by Middle East tensions and quarter-end portfolio adjustments. A sustained push higher will require a decisive break above 1.3508—representing the 50% retracement from the YTD high—and 1.3518, which marks the June 13 low and aligns with the 21-day moving average. Only then might the pair set its sights on the 1.3633 year-to-date peak.

Synopsis:

ANZ maintains a bullish medium-term view on EUR/USD, targeting 1.20, and sees recent headline-driven weakness as transitory. While geopolitical risks—particularly in the Middle East—are weighing on the euro near term, ANZ expects Fed rate cuts and diverging EU-US growth dynamics to support EUR/USD appreciation in the months ahead.

Key Points:

Headline-Driven Volatility:

  • Recent EUR downside is primarily a response to geopolitical headlines, especially concerning the Middle East.

  • The tail risk of Iran shutting the Strait of Hormuz is noted but deemed unlikely to trigger a global energy crisis on the scale of the Ukraine war.

Short-Term Outlook: Volatile but Contained

  • ANZ expects EUR/USD to remain volatile and mildly negative in the coming week.

  • However, they see this weakness as temporary, not fundamentally driven.

Medium-Term Bullish Drivers:

  • Fed expected to begin easing from Q3, reducing USD support.

  • Economic momentum is diverging in favor of the Eurozone relative to a slowing US.

  • These factors should underpin sustained upside in EUR/USD.

Trade Strategy:

  • ANZ recommends using short-term dips in EUR/USD as buying opportunities, with a target of 1.20 and a stop at 1.13.

Conclusion:

ANZ sees short-term EUR/USD weakness as a tactical dip, not a reversal of trend. With Fed cuts approaching and EU-US fundamentals diverging, EUR/USD is expected to move higher over the medium term. Dips below current levels offer attractive entry points for positioning toward a 1.20 target.

By Jeremy Boulton  —  Jun 20 - 03:44 AM

June 20 (Reuters) - The EUR/USD rally is stalling with very little advance seen in the past two months, heightening the appeal of carry trades

The carry isn't huge at roughly 0.5% for the past two months but with little FX risk it is a factor that traders should consider.

While techs remains supportive of this year's rise, there has been a clear slowdown and the pair remains fairly overbought, so unless there is dramatic news to reinvigorate the rally, a slow, and perhaps negligible rise may unfold.

There could be a further slowing in activity over the European summer as traders take a break, and should they bank profits the unwinding of a now substantial $13 billion wager on a rise will provide resistance.

No changes in interest rates are seen from the Federal Reserve, or European Central Bank before October. Futures imply one U.S. rate cut of 25 bps by October, and perhaps no further change in the euro zone interest rate in the remainder of this year.

Stocks are buoyant, which will support riskier investments like those which depend upon interest rates. If the main risk for all markets - conflict in the Middle East - intensifies, the dollar could rise significantly.

Although a carry trade is not intended to benefit from a favourable move in the direction of currencies, a EUR/USD short is an effective way to hedge the risk of a bigger war, and those who hold them will be paid while they wait to see what happens.
