USDJPY forecast: key trading points

• USDJPY pair continues to decline with no signs of stopping
• Market focus – US trade deals and rising pressure on Japan
• USDJPY forecast for 3 July 2025: 142.67

Fundamental analysis

USDJPY fell to 143.79 on Thursday. The yen gained support from a weaker dollar and continued optimism over trade negotiations.

Japanese authorities confirmed their desire for a mutually beneficial agreement with Washington but did not reveal details of possible concessions. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump increased pressure on Tokyo, calling the negotiations very difficult and threatening tariffs of up to 35% on Japanese imports. The dissatisfaction stemmed from Japan’s limited purchases of US rice and cars.

XAUUSD strengthens after collapse amid strong US employment data

XAUUSD quotes are recovering due to rising safe-haven demand amid budgetary and trade risks. Current quote – 3,339 USD. Details – in our analysis for 4 July 2025.

XAUUSD forecast: key trading points

• In June, US companies created 147,000 new jobs
• US unemployment rate fell to 4.1% instead of the expected 4.3%
• XAUUSD forecast for 4 July 2025: 3,465

Fundamental analysis

XAUUSD price is rising after yesterday’s sharp decline. Gold prices fell following strong US labour market data: in June, US companies created 147,000 new jobs – significantly above the forecast of 110,000. The unemployment rate unexpectedly fell to 4.1% instead of the projected 4.3%. These figures reinforced expectations that the Fed will keep the interest rate at its current level.

However, concerns over the growing US budget deficit and persistent uncertainty in trade policy have increased demand for gold as a safe-haven asset. An additional factor was the passage of President Donald Trump’s bill in Congress, which provides for tax cuts and reductions in government spending.

EURUSD weekly forecast: US budget deficit and trade wars in focus

Last week the euro reached new peaks but EURUSD corrected by week’s end, stabilising amid the US holiday and market readiness to react swiftly to changing conditions. This weekly EURUSD forecast analyses factors that could drive the pair to fresh 2025 highs.

EURUSD forecast: key trading points

• Market focus: Donald Trump signs measures set to push the US budget deficit to its limits. On 9 July maximum trade tariffs come into effect.
• Current trend: The medium-term uptrend remains intact; short-term consolidation is near 1.1780.
• EURUSD forecast for 7-11 July 2025: Growth target – retest of the 1.1836 high; support levels – 1.1680 and 1.1439.

Fundamental analysis

EURUSD fundamentals remain mixed and contradictory. The dollar strengthened after the US jobs report showed 147,000 new jobs created in June – above forecasts and May’s reading. Unemployment fell to 4.1 % despite expectations of a rise. These figures lowered the chance of a near-term Fed rate cut and briefly restored dollar demand as a relatively stable currency.

In the UK and eurozone, attention turns to central bank policy. The Bank of England signals readiness to cut rates in August amid fears of overheating and a sharp economic slowdown. The ECB remains more reserved: President Christine Lagarde stated that further steps depend on data and that current rates are near neutral. This gives EUR local stability while the dollar weakens overall.

Trump prepares tariff storm for Japan – what will happen to USDJPY

USDJPY reacts specifically to tariffs on goods from Japan; quotes may form a correction towards support around 145.20. Details – in our analysis for 8 July 2025.

USDJPY forecast: key trading points

• Trump imposes a 25% tariff on goods from Japan
• Investors seek refuge in USD
• USDJPY forecast for 8 July 2025: 145.20

Fundamental analysis

US President Trump announced the introduction of 25% tariffs on goods from Japan from 1 August. The trade confrontation between the US and Japan does not end at this stage. Earlier, Trump spoke of 50% import tariffs, but gradually his fervour is cooling down, and he does not rule out the possibility of easing tariffs and extending their deadlines.

Attempts to support US manufacturers through higher import tariffs ultimately affect consumers, who will have to pay these tariffs out of their own pockets. Importers, including Japan, China, and the EU, may eventually increase prices for their goods to compensate for tariffs and gain their own profit.

GBPUSD in an uptrend despite global risks

The GBPUSD rate is strengthening but remains under pressure from global tensions and calls for increased defence spending. Current quote – 1.3593. Details – in our analysis for 9 July 2025.

GBPUSD forecast: key trading points

• The UK is working on an agreement with the US to cancel steel tariffs, fearing an increase up to 50%
• An increase in steel tariffs could have a devastating impact on the British steel industry
• GBPUSD forecast for 9 July 2025: 1.3770

Fundamental analysis

The GBPUSD rate is recovering after three consecutive days of decline. The British pound came under pressure due to rising global tensions and mounting calls for increased defence spending, creating long-term budgetary uncertainty. Despite the current bearish correction, the GBPUSD currency pair continues to move within an uptrend.

The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) warned that government debt could reach 270% of GDP by 2070, due to demographic changes and rising healthcare and pension costs.
