The US dollar is softer this morning, with the DXY drifting toward 99.80 as weaker US data and growing expectations of a December Fed rate cut weigh on sentiment. Equity markets remain broadly constructive, extending this week’s rebound as investors lean into a calmer macro backdrop and easing geopolitical tensions.
EUR/USD is pushing toward 1.1570, supported by improved risk appetite and a softer dollar. GBP/USD is trading near 1.3180, holding firm after recent UK fiscal headlines. USD/JPY remains stable around 156.40, with Tokyo’s intervention warnings limiting upside but wide yield spreads keeping the pair elevated.
Gold is advancing, trading near $4,160, supported by falling yields and renewed defensive flows. WTI crude is modestly firmer around $58.20, recovering from recent lows but capped by persistent concerns over 2026 oversupply.
