US-China trade war scare: What happened Friday and where things stand now
Markets were shaken late last week as China tightened rare earth export controls and President Trump threatened 100% tariffs on all Chinese goods. The selloff sent risk assets plunging, with the S&P 500 down 2.7% and Bitcoin off 8%. But calmer remarks from U.S. officials and Trump’s softened tone over the weekend helped trigger a sharp rebound in global risk sentiment to start the week.

Canadian employment makes a comeback – USD/CAD reverses
Canada’s labor market delivered a major surprise, adding 60K jobs versus just 5K expected — a sharp turnaround from last month’s decline. Most of the new roles were full-time, signaling a more resilient recovery. With USD/CAD rejecting the 1.40 level and trade talks between Ottawa and Washington showing progress, traders are watching if the loonie’s fortunes are turning.

Gold (XAU/USD): Overstretched uptrend, risk of minor pull-back below $4,012
Gold (XAU/USD) extended its seven-week rally to a new all-time high of US$4,059, gaining 8.5% since late September. Supported by sticky U.S. inflation and growing fiscal concerns driving the “debasement trade,” the yellow metal’s major uptrend remains intact. However, momentum signals now suggest the rally is overstretched, with risks of a short-term pullback below US$4,012 before the next potential bullish leg resumes.

Trade Setup to Watch: EUR/USD Breaks Ascending Trendline, Further Downside Ahead?
EUR/USD breaks ascending trendline, hinting at further downside despite mixed fundamental and technical signals. The US Dollar Index (DXY) rallied after the FOMC meeting and US government shutdown. Technical analysis shows a break of the 1.16300 confluence level, suggesting a move towards 1.14000 or 1.1058. However, the RSI is in oversold territory, which could lead to a short-term bounce.

USD/JPY: Current JPY weakness is driven by short-term sentiment as it disconnects from US-Japan yields
The Japanese yen weakened sharply, losing 3.7% against the US dollar to hit 153.00 following the election of fiscal and monetary dove Sanae Takaichi, expected to become Japan’s next prime minister. The move, dubbed the “Takaichi Trade,” has softened expectations of a near-term BoJ rate hike. However, improving consumer confidence, an upward-trending policy rate curve, and a narrowing US-Japan yield spread suggest the yen’s weakness may be short-lived.

USD/CHF breaks above 0.80000 key level on dollar upside - Potential targets and price forecast
Finding support yesterday, USD/CHF trades 0.54% higher in today’s session, at 0.80251, crucially above the key level of 0.8000 for the first time since late September. In recent memory, the 0.80000 psychological level has presented a key area of resistance; therefore, the subsequent few sessions remain as important as ever if bullish momentum is to be sustained.
