Overall Sentiment – Errante Academy
| Currency | Overall Sentiment – Short Term | Bias |
|---|---|---|
| USD | Mixed data, but resilient jobs, PCE, durable goods, Fed pause supportive; political tariffs remain headwind. | Bullish |
| EUR | Cooling inflation and soft PMIs offset by better retail, industrial output, and sentiment; tariff headlines keep risks elevated. | Neutral |
| GBP | Inflation beat, GDP and retail outperformed, services PMI strong; softer PMIs and PPI temper, but don’t negate support. | Bullish |
| AUD | Strong PMIs, improving business conditions, solid jobs, and upside Q4 inflation reinforce RBA firmness; commodities stabilize. | Bullish |
| CAD | Inflation supports BoC patience, but core softness and widening trade gap cap upside; labor data mixed, rate gap still matters. | Neutral |
| JPY | Weak activity, softer Tokyo inflation, and slow normalization weigh; hawkish BoJ dissent helps, but not enough to flip trend. | Bearish |
| NZD | Strong PMI and confidence support, yet softer CPI and import-driven trade pressure dilute momentum; near-term bias balanced. | Neutral |
