🟢 NordFX Morning Update – June 25, 2026
🌏 Asia: Tech roared back overnight after blowout Micron earnings and a bullish Qualcomm forecast eased AI-bubble fears. Nikkei 225 jumped 4.0%, Kospi surged 5.2%, led by SK Hynix (+11%) and Samsung (+5%). Hang Seng slipped 1.0% on profit-taking, ASX 200 -0.3% despite strong May jobs data (+40.3K, unemployment down to 4.4%). CSI 300 and Nifty 50 both opened higher.
💵 FX: Dollar near 13-month highs on growing Fed rate-hike bets. EUR/USD broke below 1.14, now around 1.135-1.14. USD/JPY sits near 161.7, close to a four-decade high.
🥇 Gold dipped under $4,000/oz overnight – a 7-month low – before steadying near $4,000-4,010 as the stronger dollar and hawkish Fed outlook weigh on bullion.
🛢 Oil: WTI ~$69, Brent ~$73, both near pre-war lows as Strait of Hormuz traffic keeps normalizing.
📊 Big data day ahead: US Final Q1 GDP, jobless claims, durable goods orders, and Core PCE (the Fed's key inflation gauge) all land at 8:30 AM ET today. Markets are pricing rising odds of a Fed hike later this year under new Chair Kevin Warsh – a sharp turn from earlier rate-cut talk.
Stay sharp out there! 💪
