Nikkei 225: Bullish reversal above 45,000, no negative impact from BoJ’s ETF unwind
The Nikkei 225 extended its bullish run, hitting a record high of 45,956 on 18 Sep before a 3.2% pullback after the BoJ announced plans to unwind ¥79.5T in ETF holdings over decades. Despite this, Japanese equities remain supported by steady earnings upgrades, with the Citigroup Earnings Revision Index rising to 0.34. Technicals favor a bullish bias above 45,000, with resistances at 46,430/46,580 and 46,870.

Gold (XAU/USD): Short-term bullish acceleration intact towards new all-time highs above US$3,660 key support
Gold (XAU/USD) extended its bullish run, hitting a fresh record high of US$3,720 in today’s Asia session, 22 September 2025, after rebounding from a brief 2.2% post-FOMC pullback. The metal held firm above the key US$3,660 support, keeping short-term bullish momentum intact. With 10-year US Treasury real yields capped below resistance, Gold remains supported, with upside targets at US$3,750 and US$3,776 in the near term.

GBP outlook as GBP/USD gets rejected from pre-FOMC highs
The Pound’s rally above 1.37 quickly reversed as GBP/USD dropped 1.7% following Powell’s balanced FOMC tone and a re-anchored US Dollar. With UK inflation still high and BoE cuts pushed further out, traders now question if this pullback signals a broader correction across European currencies.

Where to Next, EUR/USD? Policy gap between ECB and Fed
The U.S. Federal Reserve has cut interest rates by 25 basis points to 4.00–4.25%, marking its first adjustment in nine months. The move, driven by risk management rather than crisis response, highlights concerns about a cooling labor market. In Europe, the ECB kept its accommodative stance unchanged, with officials signaling inflation is near target and future cuts remain possible but not urgent.

Caution Over Speed: How the Fed Framed Its First Cut
The Fed cut rates by 25 bps to 4.00–4.25% after a nine-month pause but kept a cautious tone. Powell called it “risk management,” signaling this isn’t the start of a fast easing cycle. The statement flagged growing employment-side risks, and the new dot plot points to a 3.6% median for 2025—implying two more cuts this year, though views are widely dispersed.

USD/JPY Technical: USD strength capped (again) below 148.95 range resistance, BoJ keeps rate hike hopes alive
The USD/JPY rebounded after holding 145.95 support but remains capped by 148.75/148.95 resistance. A dovish BoJ shift, with two officials voting for a rate hike, alongside narrowing US-Japan yield spreads, underpins yen strength. Unless USD/JPY breaks above 148.95, risks lean toward a retest of 146.30 and 145.95, with a daily close below the latter likely triggering a medium-term bearish breakout favoring JPY.
