Despite ongoing concerns around slowing US economic growth and the approaching 9 July expiration of the White House’s 90-day pause on global reciprocal tariffs (excluding China), investor sentiment remained firmly risk-on. Markets appear to be positioning for potential additional liquidity from a more dovish as early as Q3.

Asian Stock Markets Extend Gains on Positive US Momentum

The upbeat tone carried into Friday’s Asia session, with and E-mini futures tacking on intraday gains of 0.2%. Japan’s continued its bullish breakout from a seven-week consolidation, rising 1.2% to a five-month high. Singapore’s Straits Times Index added 0.6%, poised to close higher for a fourth straight session. In contrast, Hong Kong’s underperformed, slipping -0.4%.

US Labour Market Softens as Continuing Claims Hit 31-Month High

The latest US rose to 1.974 million for the week ending 14 June, the highest level since November 2021. The data suggests that more individuals are staying unemployed for longer periods, reinforcing the view of a weakening labour market.

This softening could push the Fed to abandon its current “wait and see” approach—emphasised by Fed Chair Jerome Powell during his testimony to Congress this week—and potentially bring forward interest rate cuts. According to CME FedWatch data, markets are now pricing in three 25-bps rate cuts by December 2025, up from two rate cuts forecast last week, aligning with the Fed’s latest dot plot.

US Dollar Extends Slide Amid Dovish Fed Expectations

Dovish Fed repricing has weighed heavily on the . The posted a fourth consecutive daily loss on Thursday, falling -0.4% to 97.35, ts lowest level in three years, and breaching a critical support at 97.40. A sustained weekly close below this level could confirm a multi-week to multi-month downtrend.

The and extended their rallies to fresh multi-year highs. Meanwhile, the surged to a decade high against the US dollar, with USD/CHF breaking below the 21 April low of 0.8040 to hit an intraday low of 0.7979, its weakest level since the 2015 removal of the floor.

JPY Holds Firm Despite Softer Tokyo Inflation and Retail Sales

Price actions of the USD/JPY have failed to trade higher above its 20-day moving average, and it is now shaping an impending weekly bearish “Dark Cloud Cover” candlestick pattern that suggests a potential bearish breakdown from its “Ascending Wedge” range support that has been in place since the 22 April 2025 low.

In addition, the hourly RSI momentum indicator has continued to flash out bearish momentum conditions as it remains below a parallel descending resistance.

Watch the 145.20 key short-term pivotal resistance, and a break below 143.90 (“Ascending Wedge” range support) exposes the next intermediate supports at 143.00 and 142.40 (see Fig 2).

On the other hand, a clearance above 145.20 negates the bearish tone for a squeeze up towards the next intermediate resistances at 146.25 and 147.15.
