By OEXN
If Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell considers adjusting interest rates in response to tariff changes, it signals that the market is closely monitoring the impact of U.S. trade policies on the economy.

OEXN Weekly Trading Ahead (0210-0214)
By OEXN
Last week, the U.S. dollar opened higher due to Trump’s tariff announcement but subsequently declined. On Friday, non-farm payroll (NFP) data showed weaker-than-expected job growth, but market volatility subsided after the release, leading to an overall reduction in trading fluctuations.
Trump’s tariff policies currently appear to be more of a negotiation and pressure tool rather than an effective measure to curb U.S. inflation. As a result, the Federal Reserve has limited room to cut interest rates for further economic stimulus.
In Europe, geopolitical tensions may gradually ease. Israel and Hamas have signed a ceasefire agreement, and although there is uncertainty in its implementation, the process is expected to continue. Meanwhile, the Russia-Ukraine war may not last much longer. If Trump wins the election, he is unlikely to provide Ukraine with large-scale military and financial aid as the Biden administration did. This raises significant uncertainty about Ukraine’s ability to continue the war. Against this backdrop, European currencies have shown early signs of a rebound, and market risk sentiment is likely to improve, though it is still in a brewing phase.

Market Trends and Analysis
The strong expectations for the U.S. dollar have begun to weaken since last week, though its upward trend has not been completely reversed. The U.S. CPI inflation data released last week met expectations, failing to reinforce the dollar’s upward momentum. Meanwhile, European currencies showed some rebound, and market risk sentiment has seen a slight recovery, albeit not strongly.
