Dollar at its weakest in months

Chart alert: USD/JPY plunging below 158 on suspected intervention, watch 157.50 support
USD/JPY plunged sharply below 158 after a sudden 190-pip drop, raising strong suspicions of Japanese FX intervention following a brief spike above 159. Technical signals now point to fading bullish momentum, with bearish RSI divergence increasing the risk of a deeper pullback. Traders are watching 157.50 as a key support and 159.75 as the critical resistance that could revive upside squeeze risks.

Escalating US–NATO tensions and a growing “sell America” narrative are driving safe-haven demand, while strong technical momentum and a breakout from a medium-term uptrend keep the near-term bias firmly bullish.

Greenland as the trigger of a new trade war
Rising tensions over Greenland risk reviving an EU-US trade conflict, with Washington once again using tariffs as a tool of political pressure. Germany appears most exposed to the potential economic fallout, while cohesion within the EU remains uncertain. Beyond trade effects, renewed tariff threats are weighing on confidence in the US dollar and fueling concerns about lasting damage to transatlantic relations and the broader global economic order.
