Euro Short-term Outlook: EUR/USD Pullback Nears Pivotal Uptrend Support 8 28 2026
Warsh's comments accelerated the EUR/USD selloff, raising the stakes as buyers look to stabilize the broader recovery.
Gold and S&P 500 analysis: What now after Warsh’s hawkish speech?
The dollar surged across the board after the Fed Chair Kevin Warsh surprised with a hawkish-leaning speech at the Jackson Hole summit. All the bearish dollar bets that had been accumulated since last Friday on the back of data weakness and bond market troubles had to be squared and that triggered a short squeeze rally for the dollar. Gold and silver dropped, as a result, as too did bitcoin, while US indices were giving back earlier gains.
Nasdaq 100 Forecast: NDX slips ahead of Fed Chair Warsh’s speech
U.S. stocks are edging lower on Friday, giving back some of yesterday's gains after Nvidia's strong outlook revived the tech trade. The focus has now shifted firmly to Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's Jackson Hole speech, with investors looking for more clarity on the outlook for interest rates.
EUR/USD forecast: All eyes on Warsh at Jackson Hole - Forex Friday
For much of this week, the EUR/USD has been edging lower with the US dollar regaining some ground after last week’s sell-off that was triggered, in part, by the bond market worries. Investors have been unwilling to bet further against the US dollar so far this week ahead of Kevin Warsh’s keynote speech at the Jackson Hole summit, due later today.
AUD/CAD breakout puts the Bradman barrier in sight
A bullish breakout has pushed AUD/CAD to its highest level since early 2021. Whether it can clear 0.9994 may determine if the move extends well above parity.
Jackson Hole Returns: Nikkei 225 and Nasdaq 100 Volatility in Focus
Historical Jackson Hole returns point to elevated Nikkei 225 volatility around Fed speech day, with Nasdaq 100 direction hinging on Kevin Warsh.
USDJPY Forecast Will Inflation Data Be Enough to Move the Yen?
It has not been an easy week for the Japanese yen. Over the last four trading sessions, USD/JPY has posted a move of only around 0.3%, reflecting a market that continues to lack clear direction and remains trapped in a phase of neutrality.
Australian Dollar Forecast: AUD/USD Breakout Rally Nears Pivotal Resistance 8 27 2026
Aussie has advanced in eight of the past nine weeks, but the next technical hurdle could determine whether bulls can sustain the broader advance.
Bitcoin Forecast: BTC/USD Back to $80K Ahead of Warsh’s Jackson Hole Speech
After surging over $15,000 in the past 10 days alone, there is risk of a near-term pullback if Warsh says anything remotely hawkish at Jackson Hole - what are the levels to watch from here?
Gold Forecast XAUUSD Stalls Around 4600 Ahead of Jackson Hole
Gold's price action has changed notably during the week. Over the last four trading sessions, the precious metal has advanced only slightly more than 1%, highlighting a clear slowdown around the $4,600 per ounce area.
S&P 500 Forecast: SPX after Nvidia revives confidence in the AI trade
U.S. stocks are heading higher on Thursday, with technology leading the move after Nvidia's stronger-than-expected outlook revived confidence in the AI trade.
USD Follows Path of Least Resistance into Jackson Hole
