On July 7, 2025, financial markets remain jittery as investors react to growing uncertainty around global tariff negotiations. Gold (XAU/USD) drifts below $3,350, pressured by profit-taking and stronger USD flows despite modest safe-haven interest. Silver (XAG/USD) remains subdued under $37.00, struggling to capitalize on geopolitical jitters. The Euro (EUR/USD) holds below 1.1800 amid trade tensions and soft Eurozone data outlook. Commodity-linked currencies like the New Zealand Dollar (NZD/USD) extend losses under 0.6050, while USD/CAD holds above 1.3900, supported by a firmer greenback and weaker oil prices. All eyes are now on upcoming tariff policy announcements, Eurozone retail sales, and Fed speeches.
Gold (XAU/USD) trades below $3,350, extending its pullback as traders turn cautious amid growing macroeconomic uncertainty. While modest safe-haven demand remains, gold faces selling pressure from a stronger US Dollar and reduced conviction among risk-off buyers. Concerns around global trade policy and monetary tightening continue to weigh on bullion’s short-term outlook.
Geopolitical Risks: Renewed market caution due to trade tensions and global uncertainty provides limited support, but no major conflict flare-up leaves gold directionless.
US Economic Data: Strong labor market data and upcoming inflation figures support the dollar and suppress gold’s upside momentum.
FOMC Outcome: The Fed remains cautious with no immediate rate cuts signaled; high yields reduce the appeal of non-interest-bearing assets like gold.
Trade Policy: While tariffs are a lingering concern, a lack of fresh escalation leads to mixed flows between risk assets and safe havens.
Monetary Policy: Rising global bond yields and a patient Fed outlook cap gold’s strength in the short term.
Trend: Bearish short-term tone after failing to hold above $3,375.
Resistance: $3,355, then $3,375 and $3,400.
Support: $3,335, followed by $3,300 and $3,275.
Forecast: Gold may continue to drift between $3,335–$3,375. A break below $3,335 could open downside toward $3,300, while any resurgence in safe-haven demand may lift it back above $3,355.
Market Sentiment: Neutral to bearish as traders remain cautious on gold amid lack of a clear risk trigger. Dollar strength limits upside.
Catalysts: US inflation data, Fed speakers, bond yield shifts, and geopolitical developments.
Silver (XAG/USD) holds below $37.00, struggling to recover recent losses despite renewed safe-haven interest in global markets. While geopolitical caution and a weaker US Dollar offer modest support, silver remains under pressure as industrial demand concerns and lingering macro uncertainty dampen momentum. The metal appears directionless as investors await clearer signals from economic data and central bank commentary.
Geopolitical Risks: Market anxiety over global trade and growth outlook sparks mild safe-haven interest, but not enough to fuel a breakout.
US Economic Data: A strong jobs report and anticipation of this week’s inflation figures drive cautious sentiment, limiting silver’s upside.
FOMC Outcome: The Fed’s data-dependent stance and higher-for-longer policy expectations limit enthusiasm for non-yielding metals like silver.
Trade Policy: Ongoing concerns over trade deals and global demand put a lid on silver’s industrial appeal, especially in the short term.
Monetary Policy: Elevated yields and a firm dollar backdrop continue to weigh on silver’s near-term outlook.
Trend: Bearish short-term after rejection from multi-month highs.
Resistance: $37.00, then $37.30 and $37.75.
Support: $36.20, then $35.75 and $35.20.
Forecast: Silver may consolidate in a $35.75–$37.00 range. A move below $36.20 could invite deeper losses, while a sustained break above $37.00 might open the path toward $37.75.
Market Sentiment: Mixed sentiment; silver lacks conviction as traders balance safe-haven flows with demand worries.
Catalysts: US CPI, industrial production data, dollar strength, and global growth forecasts.
EUR/USD remains capped below 1.1800, weighed down by renewed trade concerns and a resurgent US Dollar. The Euro struggles for direction ahead of key Eurozone retail sales data, with market sentiment tilting cautious amid global uncertainty. The pair has failed to mount a sustained recovery after last week’s pullback and continues to trade defensively in early week flows.
Geopolitical Risks: Broader global trade uncertainty limits euro bullishness, while the lack of regional geopolitical shocks keeps risk appetite stable.
US Economic Data: Strong US data reinforces dollar strength. Upcoming CPI and Fed commentary are likely to be pivotal for short-term direction.
FOMC Outcome: Hawkish Fed rhetoric and sticky inflation outlook support the USD, reducing upside for EUR/USD.
Trade Policy: Persistent fears over global tariff actions hurt sentiment, with the Euro sensitive to disruptions in global supply chains.
Trend: Bearish tone persists below the 1.1800 barrier.
Resistance: 1.1800, then 1.1840 and 1.1885.
Support: 1.1750, then 1.1700 and 1.1675.
Forecast: EUR/USD may continue to grind lower toward 1.1750 if US data surprises to the upside. A break above 1.1800 could open room for recovery toward 1.1840.
Market Sentiment: Bearish to neutral as dollar strength weighs on the pair. Euro traders remain cautious ahead of Eurozone data.
Catalysts: Eurozone retail sales, US CPI and PPI figures, ECB remarks, and global trade policy headlines.
NZD/USD extends its downside below 0.6050, pressured by cautious risk sentiment and lingering trade deal uncertainty. The Kiwi remains vulnerable as markets await clarity on tariff negotiations, while a stronger US Dollar and falling commodity sentiment weigh on New Zealand’s export outlook. The pair has now broken through key support zones, signaling ongoing bearish momentum.
Geopolitical Risks: Lingering uncertainty around global trade and tariffs dampens risk appetite, pushing investors away from high-beta currencies like the Kiwi.
US Economic Data: Strong US job data and expectations for firm inflation keep the Dollar supported, limiting upside potential for NZD/USD.
FOMC Outcome: The Fed’s hawkish tone and delayed rate-cut expectations maintain a yield advantage for the USD over the NZD.
Trade Policy: Lack of progress on trade deals — particularly US-China — clouds the demand outlook for New Zealand exports.
Monetary Policy: The RBNZ remains cautious amid slowing domestic demand. Divergence from the Fed adds pressure to the NZD.
Trend: Bearish continuation as the pair breaks below 0.6050.
Resistance: 0.6085, then 0.6120 and 0.6150.
Support: 0.6025, then 0.6000 and 0.5970.
Forecast: NZD/USD may test 0.6000 if bearish momentum persists. A reversal above 0.6085 would be needed to neutralize short-term pressure.
Market Sentiment: Bearish, driven by risk-off flows and limited appetite for commodity-linked FX.
Catalysts: US CPI data, global trade developments, Chinese growth signals, and New Zealand business confidence reports.
USD/CAD trades above 1.3900, holding modest gains as sliding oil prices and a firmer US Dollar continue to support the pair. The Canadian Dollar faces pressure amid softer crude demand and a cautious risk environment, while the Greenback remains broadly bid ahead of key US inflation data. The pair trades within a bullish structure as energy-linked sentiment weakens further.
Geopolitical Risks: No direct threat to oil supply, but lingering macro uncertainty and cautious global sentiment support USD over CAD.
US Economic Data: Strong labor market signals and anticipation of firm CPI figures keep USD well-supported heading into the week.
FOMC Outcome: The Fed’s hawkish tone favors USD/CAD upside, particularly as the BoC adopts a more neutral stance.
Trade Policy: Global trade concerns weigh on energy demand expectations, dragging crude lower and hurting CAD.
Monetary Policy: With rate cut bets cooling for both central banks, USD maintains an edge due to relatively stronger economic performance.
Trend: Bullish continuation above 1.3900.
Resistance: 1.3940, then 1.3975 and 1.4000.
Support: 1.3860, followed by 1.3820 and 1.3780.
Forecast: USD/CAD may push toward 1.3975 if oil prices remain weak and US data confirms Fed hawkishness. A drop below 1.3860 would suggest short-term consolidation.
Market Sentiment: Bullish for USD/CAD as oil weakness and US strength combine to drive flows.
Catalysts: US CPI, EIA crude oil inventories, BoC statements, and global commodity trends.
As July 7 unfolds, markets grapple with renewed trade anxieties and global tariff uncertainty. Gold and silver remain under pressure despite underlying geopolitical risks. The USD strengthens broadly, capping gains in major FX pairs and driving fresh downside in NZD/USD and EUR/USD. USD/CAD trades firmer as oil prices slump. With key economic data and policy clues on the horizon, traders remain cautious and reactive to headlines.
