How long can the Fed still defend its independence?
The Fed is likely to keep interest rates unchanged while focusing on preserving its independence amid mounting political pressure. The labour market is stable but vulnerable, justifying caution. Markets do not expect near term rate cuts, while confidence in the dollar is increasingly at risk, raising the possibility of a self reinforcing period of dollar weakness.

Dollar at its weakest in months
The US dollar is experiencing its sharpest weekly decline in months, driven primarily by rising political uncertainty rather than changes in monetary policy expectations. Unpredictable decisions and mixed signals from the US administration have unsettled investors, pushing them toward safe-haven currencies such as the Japanese yen and the Swiss franc.

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.

Chart alert: Gold (XAU/USD) eyeing $5,000 and beyond as bullish acceleration intact
Gold (XAU/USD) is extending a powerful bullish acceleration, surging to fresh all-time highs near US$4,970 and setting its sights on the US$5,000–5,150 zone. 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.
