Chart alert: Yen’s 3-day weakness pauses at key 158.55/USD inflexion level ahead of NFP
USD/JPY’s three-day rebound is showing signs of exhaustion near the key 158.55 inflexion level ahead of the US non-farm payrolls release. The narrowing 2-year UST-JGB yield spread, a potential bearish flag and weakening hourly RSI momentum suggest renewed downside risks for USD/JPY. A break below the 157.95 downside trigger could expose 157.30 and 156.32, while a move above 158.55 may extend the rebound towards 159.45.

Chart alert: Bullish exhaustion signals sighted in Goldman Sachs (GS) ahead of earnings
Goldman Sachs heads into its Q2 2026 earnings after outperforming the S&P 500 and financial sector by a wide margin, raising the bar for another positive surprise. Investors will focus on investment banking fees, trading revenue, and management's outlook for capital markets activity.
