The S&P 500 is gearing up for one of the best months of the year, Christmas rally and a Fed rate cut.

Euro rises on German inflation; yen strengthens as BoJ eyes rate hike; pound faces pressure after UK budget and capital flight.

Monetary policy divergence is set to favour the yen in 2026, while UK fiscal measures and rate cut expectations impact the pound and US dollar.

The US dollar weakened due to dovish Fed signals and poor data, while rival currencies rose on positive domestic developments.

The pound faces volatility ahead of the UK budget, while US economic weakness and rate cut prospects pressure the dollar and boost the euro.

The US economy is strong, thanks to spending on AI. The Fed is easing interest rates while tightening forecasts, but the Trump factor has not yet played out.

Positive developments in Europe support the euro, while uncertainty in the US and prospects for a rate cut weaken the dollar.

Gold remains resilient despite US dollar strength, central bank buying increases, but a rate cut delay and key price levels risk reversing the trend.

The US dollar holds firm amid global uncertainty, cautious Fed, slow Bank of Japan, and a potentially surging pound driven by UK policy hopes.

The US dollar spread its wings thanks to the hawkish rhetoric of the minutes of the October FOMC meeting. Most officials considered it inappropriate to cut the federal funds rate in December. The chances of such an outcome fell to.

The US dollar is losing its safe-haven status, faces pressure over rates, and investors increasingly favour the yen for 2026.

The Fed's hawks and doves clash as rate cut hopes waver; USD and CHF move on policy, inflation, and tariff shifts.
