The shift comes as mounting concerns over the US's deteriorating fiscal position have led investors to seek out safer assets. Following Moody’s recent downgrade of US debt, market attention turned sharply toward America’s staggering $36 trillion debt load. The renewed focus has been amplified by President Donald Trump’s proposed tax legislation, which is expected to significantly expand the deficit if passed. Labelled by Trump as a ‘big, beautiful bill,’ the tax package narrowly cleared the Republican-majority House of Representatives. It now heads to the Senate, where extended debate is expected—further contributing to near-term investor caution. The euro climbed 0.36% to $1.132 on Friday, on track to close the week with a 1.2% gain after four weeks of losses. Earlier dollar strength had been supported by a pause in tariff escalations, but sentiment has since shifted. Year-to-date, the euro has appreciated 9% amid ongoing turbulence sparked by tariff policy and a retreat from the dollar. ‘This week, the focus moved away from trade tensions to fiscal stability. That change has rattled markets,’ said Moh Siong Sim, currency strategist at Bank of Singapore. ‘The U.S. fiscal path now looks so concerning that investors are questioning its sustainability.’ The dollar index, which gauges the greenback against six major peers, was down 0.3% at 99.614 on Friday and is set for a 1.35% weekly loss. This drop comes despite a selloff in U.S. Treasuries, with 30-year yields hovering above 5% in Asian trading, close to their October 2023 peak of 5.179%—levels not seen since 2007. The rising yields have failed to support the dollar, as a wave of risk aversion fuels what some analysts have dubbed a “Sell America” movement, echoing trends seen last month. ‘What’s striking is how markets are reacting to the surge in long-term U.S. yields,’ said Chris Weston, head of research at Pepperstone. ‘These yields aren’t being driven by optimism about growth, but by deepening fears of fiscal irresponsibility and ballooning interest costs.’ He added that the combination of rising inflation expectations and waning foreign interest in U.S. debt has led to a notable spike in the term premium. The yen firmed to 143.47 per dollar, set for a 1.5% weekly rise after Japanese core inflation in April surged at its fastest pace in over two years. This could prompt the Bank of Japan to consider raising interest rates before year-end. Despite a fragile economy burdened by tariffs, super-long Japanese bonds reached record highs this week, though prices steadied on Friday. The Swiss franc gained slightly to 0.8264 per dollar and is up 1.2% this week, snapping a two-week losing streak. The Australian dollar strengthened 0.39% to $0.6434 after the Reserve Bank of Australia cut its cash rate to a two-year low of 3.85%, citing weaker global prospects and easing domestic inflation. Meanwhile, the New Zealand dollar rose 0.3% to $0.5916, on track for a 0.6% weekly increase. Asian Equities Rebound as Yields Retreat Asian stocks advanced early Friday as U.S. Treasury yields retreated after a volatile week driven by debt-related fears. The 10-year yield slipped to 4.52%, while the more Fed-sensitive two-year yield dropped to 3.98%. Oil prices declined amid speculation that OPEC+ may raise production at its next meeting. U.S. crude fell 51 cents to $60.69 per barrel, while Brent slid to $63.93. In Asia, Japan’s Nikkei 225 rose 0.8% to 37,289.60 after the government reported April core inflation at 3.5%, its highest since early 2023. Analysts now expect the BOJ to cautiously consider tightening policy. Still, ING’s Min Joo Kang noted that U.S. tariff pressures could limit the BOJ’s room to maneuver, especially with Japan’s export sector under threat. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng rose 0.4% to 23,627.99, Shanghai’s Composite Index gained 1% to 3,382.12, Seoul’s Kospi edged up 0.2% to 2,597.49, and Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 added 0.4% to 8,379.10. Wall Street Mixed as Policy Fears Linger U.S. stocks closed mixed on Thursday, with the S&P 500 down slightly to 5,842.01. The Dow ticked lower by 1.35 points to 41,859.09, while the Nasdaq rose 0.3% to 18,925.73, led by tech gains. Alphabet climbed 1.4% and Nvidia added 0.8%. Treasury markets steadied following the House’s passage of a tax bill expected to deepen the federal deficit. The package would extend $4.5 trillion in tax breaks and introduce new ones, while accelerating the phase-out of clean energy credits—sending solar stocks tumbling. Sunrun lost 37.1%, Enphase dropped 19.6%, and First Solar slid 4.3%. Healthcare stocks also fell after a federal agency announced broader audits of Medicare Advantage plans. UnitedHealth lost 2.1% and Humana plunged 7.6%. In the latest economic data, jobless claims edged slightly lower, signalling continued labour market resilience. Still, businesses remain cautious amid an ongoing trade war. A strong S&P Global report on U.S. manufacturing and services showed a rebound in May, though it also highlighted supply chain disruptions and cost pressures tied to looming tariffs. The jump in prices for goods and services marked the sharpest since August 2022. Currencies Update In early Friday trade, the dollar eased to 143.45 yen from 144.01. The euro rose to $1.1319 from $1.1279, reflecting continued pressure on the greenback. [b]Always trade with strict risk management.

AUDUSD forecast: key trading points Expectations of a Fed rate cut in the second half of 2025 support AUDUSD's current uptrend Traders anticipate a breakout from the consolidation range, which could trigger a strong directional move AUDUSD forecast for 23 May 2025: 0.6545 Fundamental analysis The AUDUSD rate strengthens but remains confined within a sideways consolidation. The US dollar is under pressure due to ongoing fiscal risks and the lack of progress in trade negotiations. Additional support for the Australian currency came from expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut in the second half of 2025. Earlier this week, the Reserve Bank of Australia lowered its key rate by 25 basis points. Markets now price in over a 50% likelihood of a second rate cut at the next meeting in July. Against this backdrop, AUDUSD trading remains mixed and volatile. The price is squeezed in a consolidation range with the upper boundary at 0.6495 and the lower one at 0.6360. Traders are closely monitoring this phase as such consolidations often end with a strong breakout. RoboForex Market Analysis & Forex Forecasts Attention!
