- Treatment with latarcibart led to an 81% median reduction in annualized bleeding rate (ABR) across all bleeding categories and patient types with von Willebrand disease (VWD)
- Latarcibart, administered via a once monthly subcutaneous dosing regimen, was shown to be safe and well tolerated over multiple doses in this study
- Pivotal Phase 3 VIVID-6 trial evaluating latarcibart’s potential to be the first targeted therapy for VWD is currently enrolling
WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Incyte (Nasdaq: INCY) today announced complete safety and efficacy data from all patients (n=16) enrolled in the Phase 1/2 multidose study of VGA039 (latarcibart), a novel, Protein S-targeting, investigational monoclonal antibody for patients with von Willebrand disease (VWD). The data are being shared in an oral presentation today at the 34th Congress of the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH 2026 Congress) in Paris.
“These results continue to build a highly consistent body of evidence supporting latarcibart as a significant potential treatment advancement for patients with VWD,” said Pablo J. Cagnoni, M.D., President, Incyte and Global Head of R&D.
Share Latarcibart modulates Protein S to improve hemostasis, potentially enhancing the body’s ability to prevent or reduce the frequency of bleeding episodes. Latarcibart is in pivotal Phase 3 development for patients with VWD, the most common inherited bleeding disorder. If approved, latarcibart has the potential to be the first, once monthly subcutaneous prophylactic therapy for patients with VWD, offering an important alternative to the frequent intravenous infusions of replacement factor concentrates commonly used in the prophylactic setting today. Given its novel mechanism, latarcibart may also have potential in other bleeding disorders.
“These results continue to build a highly consistent body of evidence supporting latarcibart as a significant potential treatment advancement for patients with VWD,” said Pablo J. Cagnoni, M.D., President, Incyte and Global Head of Research and Development. “This multidose dataset underscores the potential of latarcibart to address the longstanding need for a prophylactic therapy that provides meaningful protection for patients with all types of VWD. We are continuing to enroll the Phase 3 VIVID-6 study as we work toward redefining the standard of routine prophylactic care for patients with VWD.”
As of May 5, 2026, data from all 16 patients enrolled in the Phase 1/2 multidose study were available, and all participants had completed the multidose regimen of six doses of latarcibart, with maintenance doses administered subcutaneously every four weeks. Key data highlights include:
Substantial reductions in ABR (annualized bleeding rate) were seen across study patients, including all VWD types and bleed types, such as serious GI and hemophilia-like joint and muscle bleeds. The median ABR reduction across all VWD types and bleed categories was 81%. In patients switching from prior von Willebrand factor (VWF)-containing prophylaxis (IV infusions multiple times per week), bleed reductions were 75-100%, indicating potential improvement over current standard of care. Among patients not previously receiving IV prophylaxis, 7 had historical ABRs >12, a key eligibility criterion for the Phase 3 VIVID-6 study. In this group, ABR reductions ranged from 46-100%, with nearly all patients (6/7) achieving reductions >73%. Latarcibart treatment resulted in ~86% reduction in VWF-treated breakthrough bleeds, with 70% of patients with prior VWF-treated bleeds not experiencing a VWF-treated breakthrough bleed while on treatment. All participants who entered the study with a substantial bleed burden transitioned to continue receiving latarcibart in the ongoing open-label extension study. Latarcibart once monthly subcutaneous prophylaxis was safe and well tolerated over multiple doses. Three treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) related to latarcibart were reported: two Grade 2 headaches in one patient and one report of Grade 1 injection site reactions. There was also one unrelated serious adverse event of severe gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding in a patient with a history of frequent and severe GI bleeding. “Many people with VWD struggle with bleeding and need more effective and convenient prophylactic treatments. The study results showed treatment with latarcibart delivered consistent and clinically meaningful reductions in bleeding across a diverse group of VWD patients, including patients with all major types of the disease and individuals transitioning from intensive IV prophylaxis,” said Allison Wheeler, M.D., MSCI, Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Washington. “Equally important, the favorable safety profile and once monthly subcutaneous dosing regimen have the potential to substantially reduce treatment burden while providing consistent bleed protection. Together, these findings provide a strong foundation for the Phase 3 study and support latarcibart’s potential as an important new treatment option for patients with VWD.”

Fragile rebounds across precious metals and major FX pairs face renewed risks from the latest developments around the Strait of Hormuz and this week's US CPI report. Key technical levels remain in focus to determine the next directional breakout.
Iran and the US exchanged strikes following the disruption of the ceasefire framework. The US launched strikes against Iran's key Hormuz gateway and military infrastructure. Iran launched strikes against commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, including oil and LNG vessels. Fed Governor Kevin Warsh is expected to testify on Wednesday following Tuesday's US CPI report. US CPI is expected to decline from 4.2% to 3.8%, in line with the more than 40% decline in crude oil prices from their yearly highs. Crude oil prices continue to hold a fragile bullish rebound following the latest strikes, within a broader selloff driven by oversupply risks, rising OPEC+ production quotas, and recovering Gulf production and exports. Latest analysis: Crude Oil Weekly Outlook: Oversupply Risks Challenge WTI & Brent Despite Hormuz Tensions EUR/USD and gold are also holding fragile rebounds despite persistent US dollar strength, supported by lingering inflationary pressures stemming from the US-Iran conflict, reinforcing expectations for a higher-for-longer interest rate environment. As the US Dollar Index (DXY) holds above 101: EUR/USD continues to face bearish pressure below 1.1470. Gold continues to face bearish pressure below 4,200. EUR/USD Price Outlook: Monthly Time Frame – Log Scale
Source: TradingView
Key points from this chart:
EUR/USD's monthly price action continues to test the multi-year resistance-turned-support zone between 1.1280 and 1.1300. This area aligns with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the January 2025-January 2026 advance. A breakdown below 1.1280 would expose the 1.1130-1.1000 region, where the 50% Fibonacci retracement converges with the upper boundary of the 2008-2025 descending channel, creating another potential major rebound zone. On the upside, a sustained move back above 1.1470, followed by 1.1600, would reinforce bullish continuation toward the key 1.1730-1.1800 resistance area. This zone could either trigger another major pullback or open the door for a rally toward levels last seen in 2021 and 2018 near 1.2300. These scenarios largely depend on whether the US dollar pulls back or breaks above its major resistance zone, as discussed in this video. USD/JPY Bulls Prepare for Major Move Higher?
Gold Price Outlook: Six-Month Time Frame – Log Scale
Source: TradingView
Key points from the six-month chart:
Gold is testing a breakdown below the 27.2% Fibonacci retracement of the 1920-2026 advance. A close below 3,930 would expose the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement near the 3,500-3,460 zone, which served as a five-month resistance area throughout 2025. Price action is also aligned with the trendline connecting consecutive highs between 2016 and 2025, a major resistance-turned-support level. This high-time-frame confluence zone could determine whether gold stages a major reversal or experiences a deeper decline. Gold Price Outlook: Daily Time Frame – Log Scale
Source: TradingView
Key points from this chart:
Despite the high-time-frame support confluence, gold's daily price action remains capped below a descending trendline connecting lower highs since March 2026, maintaining an overall bearish bias. Price action is currently holding a fragile rebound, testing the 27.2% Fibonacci retracement of the April-July decline. A move above 4,200 would shift focus toward: 4,300: 38.2% Fibonacci retracement. 4,420: 50% Fibonacci retracement, which would mark a sustained bullish shift from the current bearish bias. As long as DXY strength persists, as discussed in this video, downside risks remain elevated across both EUR/USD and gold unless a change in monetary policy direction is confirmed and/or key resistance levels are reclaimed.
Akcie jihokorejského výrobce paměťových čipů SK Hynix kótované na domácím trhu v Soulu zaznamenaly na začátku nového týdne nejhorší denní propad ve své historii, když klesly o více než 15 procent. Pondělní výprodej zasáhl celý jihokorejský trh. Třeba konkurenční Samsung Electronics ztratil bezmála 11 procent a hlavní index Kospi se propadl zhruba o devět procent.
K pádu SK Hynix došlo jen pár dní poté, co společnost vstoupila na americký trh prostřednictvím ADR, kde při svém pátečním debutu akcie posílily o 13 procent.
„Vstup na burzu ADR byl velmi úspěšný, ale velká část tohoto úspěchu již byla započítaná. Dnešní slabost zřejmě odráží typickou reakci ‚sell the news‘ a realizaci zisků spíše než jakoukoliv změnu fundamentálních ukazatelů,“ řekl agentuře Bloomberg Chan H. Lee, řídící partner hedgeového fondu Petra Capital Management v Soulu.
Nabídka akcií SK Hynix v hodnotě 26,5 miliardy dolarů byla investory i analytiky vnímána jako důležitý test chuti trhu financovat velké zahraniční emise a zároveň jako prověrka odolnosti současné AI rally. Navzdory rostoucím debatám o vysokých valuacích technologických titulů a enormních investicích do AI byla emise podle informací z trhu více než sedminásobně přeupsána.
SK Hynix se v posledních letech stal jedním z klíčových hráčů v dodavatelském řetězci AI díky dominantní pozici na trhu s HBM pamětmi (High Bandwidth Memory), které se používají v nejvýkonnějších AI akcelerátorech od Nvidie. Prudce rostoucí poptávka po těchto čipech pomohla firmě k rekordním ziskům, přičemž její akcie během posledních 12 měsíců vzrostly o více než 500 procent, připomíná Bloomberg.
Analytici z Korea Investment & Securities upozorňují, že provozní zisk SK Hynix za poslední čtvrtletí by mohl zaostat za tržním konsensem přibližně o osm procent. Důvodem je mimo jiné struktura tržeb firmy. Významný podíl pochází právě z HBM pamětí, jejichž ceny sice rostou, avšak pomaleji než u některých tradičních typů paměťových čipů. Kontrakty na dodávky HBM bývají často uzavírány na delší období a poskytují menší prostor pro rychlé promítnutí tržních cenových změn.
Na druhé straně vedení společnosti nadále zdůrazňuje, že globální nedostatek pamětí by mohl přetrvávat ještě řadu let. Generální ředitel SK Hynix Kwak Noh-Jung v nedávném rozhovoru uvedl, že napjatá situace na trhu nemusí skončit ani po roce 2030.
Od červnového historického maxima už každopádně akcie odepsaly přes 35 procent. Technické ukazatele přitom naznačují, že na titulu došlo z přehřátých úrovní z počátku tohoto roku k ochlazení. „Ještě jeden týden poklesu je možný, ale vnímáme to jako příležitost k dalšímu nákupu. Rally v Koreji by měla ADR vytlačit výše. Takže je to dobrá pozice k nákupu,“ uvedl Nico Rosti, analytik společnosti MRM Research.
Volatilita na korejské burze narůstá
Úspěch firem napojených na boom AI výrazně změnil dynamiku jihokorejského akciového trhu. Investoři, zejména ti drobní, ve velkém směřují kapitál právě do SK Hynix a Samsungu, což zvyšuje volatilitu.
K prudkým pohybům přispívá také popularita pákových ETF fondů navázaných na akcie obou výrobců pamětí. Výsledkem jsou mimořádně výrazné denní výkyvy indexu Kospi, který letos zažil již sedm obchodních přerušení kvůli extrémnímu pohybu trhu. Přitom od roku 2000 se takový zásah ze strany regulátorů uskutečnil pouze 13krát.
Rostoucí citlivost trhu se projevila i minulý týden po zveřejnění předběžných výsledků Samsungu. Přestože firma zůstává jedním z hlavních beneficientů AI trendu, investoři reagovali prodeji, které následně zasáhly širší technologický sektor.
The Pound to Australian Dollar (GBP/AUD) exchange rate opens the new week around 1.9271 after holding close to five-month highs, with Sterling remaining well supported while the Australian Dollar faces another busy week of domestic data and renewed scrutiny over China's economic outlook.
Latest — Exchange Rates:
Pound to Australian Dollar (GBP/AUD): 1.927065 (-0.05%)
Pound to Dollar (GBP/USD): 1.339 (-0.12%)
Australian Dollar to Dollar (AUD/USD): 0.694839 (-0.07%)
WEEKLY RECAP:
GBP/AUD spent much of last week consolidating just below the 1.93 level after a strong rally through June.
The Pound continued to outperform despite evidence that the UK economy is slowing.
Markets remain reluctant to price aggressive Bank of England easing while inflation stays above target, helping Sterling retain a yield advantage over several major currencies.
In its latest monthly outlook, MUFG said the Pound was among the strongest-performing G10 currencies through June, supported by resilient investor confidence and the fading inflation shock as oil prices retreated.
The Australian Dollar struggled to generate sustained demand.
Although global risk sentiment has improved following the easing of Middle East tensions, investors remain cautious over China's economic outlook, a key driver for Australian exports.
Reuters has reported that attention is now turning to China's second-quarter GDP and June activity data, with markets expecting slower growth after softer domestic demand and weaker investment. Those figures are likely to have an important bearing on the Australian Dollar this week.
In a recent client note, ING highlighted that Sterling is increasingly being driven by domestic developments, while commodity-linked currencies remain more exposed to changes in global growth expectations.
Near-Term GBP/AUD Forecast: China GDP and UK GDP in Focus For Pound Sterling, investors will watch Thursday's monthly UK GDP estimate for May, together with industrial production and trade balance figures. Stronger-than-expected data would reinforce the view that the UK economy has remained resilient despite softer business surveys.
For the Australian Dollar, the spotlight falls on China's second-quarter GDP, June retail sales and industrial production, all due on Wednesday. Stronger Chinese data would likely support the Australian Dollar by improving confidence in Australia's export outlook, while weaker figures could renew pressure on the currency.
Markets will also continue to monitor developments in commodity markets following the recent decline in oil prices and any fresh guidance from Reserve Bank of Australia officials after last week's policy decision.
If UK GDP surprises to the upside while Chinese growth data disappoints, GBP/AUD could retest resistance around 1.94.
However, stronger Chinese activity data and firmer commodity prices could allow the Australian Dollar to recover, pulling the pair back towards 1.90.

Renewed geopolitical tensions in the Middle East triggered a brief risk-off move, sending Bitcoin [BTC] and altcoins lower before BTC recovered and held above the $63,000 support level, highlighting its resilience.
Against this backdrop, protocol-based altcoins dominated the winners’ list with strong double-digit rallies, while most of the week’s biggest losers came from speculative assets, reflecting a clear rotation toward fundamentally stronger projects.
How did DeXe [DEXE] reinforce its bullish structure? DeXe [DEXE] led this week’s gainers with a massive 73% rally, marking its strongest weekly performance on record. The move reflects strong investor demand for decentralized governance protocols despite mixed sentiment across the broader crypto market.
From a technical perspective, DEXE is now approaching the $50 resistance level, putting another breakout within reach. However, the rally is also beginning to flash signs of exhaustion. At press time, the RSI has pushed deep into overbought territory, suggesting buyers may be getting stretched.
At the same time, DEXE has gained 73% in less than four trading days, highlighting an aggressive buying spree that often precedes a period of cooling. With the broader market turning risk-off again as geopolitical tensions weigh on sentiment, short-term profit-taking could increase.
Source: TradingView (DEXE/USDT) If that happens, $35 is the first key support level to watch. However, if buyers continue to absorb selling pressure, DEXE could still break above $50 and extend its rally.
Overall, DEXE enters the week with strong momentum but elevated risk as technicals become overextended.
Arbitrum [ARB] is approaching a KEY resistance zone Arbitrum [ARB] was the second-biggest gainer this week, climbing 20% after posting an 8% rally the week before. The back-to-back gains suggest buyers are steadily taking control, with bullish momentum continuing to build. Technically, ARB still doesn’t look overheated.
Despite the strong move, the weekly RSI remains below overbought territory, suggesting there is still room for the rally to extend. The daily chart also continues to print higher highs, showing buyers remain in control. The next key level to watch is the $0.10 resistance zone. ARB hasn’t reclaimed this level since losing it during the late May correction, making it an important technical barrier.
If buying pressure continues at its current pace, a breakout above $0.10 looks increasingly likely. That would open the door for another leg higher, making ARB one of the stronger technical setups to watch this week.
Lighter [LIT] continues to outrun bearish control Lighter [LIT] secured the third spot among this week’s top gainers with a 5% rally. While the gain was smaller than the week’s biggest winners, it suggests LIT has continued to hold onto its recent strength.
Technically, the more important development is that LIT has broken above the $2.70 resistance level. This comes after the token rallied more than 50% over the past two weeks, showing buyers are still willing to accumulate even after a strong uptrend.
The successful reclaim of resistance also shifts market sentiment in favor of the bulls. If buying pressure continues, the breakout could attract fresh momentum traders, increasing the chances of a move toward $3.
Other notable winners Outside the majors, altcoin movers also stole the spotlight this week.
TCC [TCC] led the market with a staggering 66,301% gain, followed by Cash Cat [CASHCAT], which surged 3,928%, while Yei Finance [CLO] climbed 76%, rounding out the week’s top performers.
Weekly losers How did Bonk [BONK] erase its previous week’s gains? Bonk [BONK] led this week’s losers with an 18% decline, completely wiping out last week’s 18.6% rally. The move is another reminder of the sharp swings that are common across the meme coin sector.
What’s interesting is that the sell-off came despite 110 million BONK being burned this week. That suggests the token burn wasn’t enough to shift sentiment. Technically too, BONK looks weak. The weekly chart has been printing lower lows since the mid-Q3 2025 cycle, showing the broader downtrend remains intact.
Even though the RSI was deep in oversold territory as of writing, buyers have yet to step in with enough conviction to reverse the trend. This week’s decline also pushed BONK to a new all-time low around $0.0000039, reinforcing the bearish structure.
Source: TradingView (BONK/USDT) Unless market sentiment improves or buyers reclaim key resistance levels, BONK is likely to remain under pressure, making it one of the weaker technical setups heading into next week.
Audiera [BEAT] is testing the strength of a KEY support Audiera [BEAT] was the second-biggest loser this week, dropping 12% after posting two straight weeks of gains. Despite the pullback, BEAT is still holding above levels it reclaimed during its recent breakout, suggesting bulls haven’t lost control just yet.
Technically, the focus is now on the $2.00–$2.50 support zone. Since mid-May, buyers have consistently stepped in around this area, triggering several weekly rebounds and keeping the broader uptrend intact. That makes this week’s decline look more like a cooldown than a trend reversal.
If bulls defend support once again, BEAT could build enough momentum for another run at the $3.50 resistance. A successful breakout above that level would confirm another higher high and keep BEAT among the stronger bullish setups to watch next week.
Why did Jupiter [JUP] post its weakest weekly rally in over a month? Jupiter [JUP] was the third-biggest loser this week, falling just over 10%. The pullback came after numerous weeks of gains and pushed the token back below the $0.25 resistance level.
Technically, though, the trend still favors the bulls. JUP continues to hold a pattern of higher highs and higher lows, suggesting the broader uptrend remains intact. The next key level to watch is $0.20, where buyers have consistently stepped in during previous pullbacks.
That puts JUP in a healthy consolidation phase rather than a full trend reversal. If bulls continue to defend support, the current pullback could provide the base for another move higher.
A reclaim of $0.25 would strengthen the bullish structure and increase the chances of another breakout, making JUP one of the key altcoins to watch heading into next week.
Other notable losers In the broader market, downside volatility hit hard.
LAB [LAB] led the losers with a 96% decline, followed by ETHGas [GWEI], which fell 54%, while BUILDon [B] dropped 47.7% as bearish momentum intensified.
Conclusion This week was a rollercoaster for crypto. Big pumps, sharp dips, and nonstop action. As always, stay sharp, do your own research, and trade smart.
Final Summary DeXe [DEXE], Arbitrum [ARB], and Lighter [LIT] led the week in gains. Bonk [BONK], Audiera [BEAT], and Jupiter [JUP] saw significant declines.
Gold – Chart The precious metal is currently trading around $4,059 on the 4-H chart. Alternating green and red bars tried to push through the symmetrical triangle’s resistance at roughly $4,091 while standing above the triple-bottom support near $3,959. On this chart, the bullish rejection wicks and rising lows reflect the absorption by buyers.
The 50-period EMA in blue, near $4,107, remains a major resistance to the upside. At a $4,059 price level, momentum is slightly on the neutral side, as signaled by the 40 reading on the RSI. The volume profile is also a great measure, with $4,000 to $4,091 being a very dense accumulation range.
The price range from the previous $4,597 highs is forming a downtrend channel, and the price is testing the $4,091 resistance point of the breakout. However, the price is also forming a higher lows pattern, and the Fibonacci’s confluence level also supports the short-term price.
Based on this technical outlook, I would consider a long position around $4,059, targeting $4,140, while placing a stop below $4,091.

Currencies Reflect Divergent Monetary Policies and Economic Fundamentals On July 13, the dollar, euro and pound will keep being defined by competing central bank stances and economic fundamentals. Latest FOMC meeting minutes saw a hint of a shift towards the hawkish side with some officials thinking rates might well be firmed up on the back of core inflation being too sticky, while risks from energy price volatility, and demand from artificial intelligence. The dollar is thus supported by the prospect of relatively restrictive monetary policy being sustained for a period of time. Strong underlying domestic demand and a status quo as a global reserve currency are key structural positives for the dollar.
Economy-wide growth across the euro zone is currently uneven, and is likely to remain so in the months following the ECB’s June rate increase to 2.25%. Different fiscal positions at the country level and heterogeneous inflation dynamics are key factors influencing monetary policy transmission in the euro zone. The euro currency remains susceptible to activity and wage data.
Sterling is facing a similar dilemma, as policymakers at the Bank of England juggle elevated service-sector inflation risks against signs of softer economic growth. Domestic fiscal and labour market policies are likely to continue playing a key role in the currency’s outlook as relative policy stances with the Fed and the ECB impact on exchange rates.
Key economic fundamentals remain divergent, with different paths in inflation dynamics, fiscal settings and underlying growth resilience, all of which will sustain two-way market risks for the three major currencies. External trade flows and capital movements will further differentiate the currency markets depending on which central bank can most easily maintain stability and growth.
DXY Holds $101.07 – Fib 0.618 Retest on 4h Dollar Index Price Chart – Source: Tradingview The USD index (DXY) was up slightly at $101.07 on the 4h timeframe chart. We can see from the 4h DXY chart that the mixed candles had just tested 0.618 Fib level near 100.31 after a strong breakout from the swing low at 97.67.
The bullish bodies with higher highs are confirming the buyer’s control, while still maintaining respect for the 4h chart 50-EMA near 101.02. We can also observe that the RSI sits near 55. Meanwhile, the volume profile identifies 100.59-101.06 as a significant breakout point.
Fib retracement implies the next resistance will come around 103.09 in the next few weeks. In short, the market remains decisively bullish in the 4h chart above 100.59 inside a well-defined ascending channel, confirming a higher high and a higher low formation to keep the buyers firmly in control.
Based on this technical outlook, I would consider a long position around $101.07, targeting $103.09, while placing a stop below $100.59.
GBP/USD Holds $1.3388 – EMA 50 Defense on 4h
GBP/USD Price Chart – Source: Tradingview The British pound was trading near $1.3388 on the 4h timeframe chart. The mixed candles defending the 4h chart 50-EMA near 1.3360 were kicked off near the red MA around 1.337, according to the 4h GBP/USD price chart.

The Euro (EUR) is trading practically flat against the British Pound (GBP) on Monday after dropping about 2% over the past three weeks. Euro bulls remain subdued amid the risk-averse mood, but sellers are struggling to find acceptance below 0.8500.
Escalating tensions in the Middle East and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz are weighing heavily on the Euro, as higher Oil prices are pressuring the European Central Bank (ECB) to hike rates further in the context of sluggish economic growth.
The British Pound, by contrast, is showing resilience amid the US-Iran conflict and the political impasse in the UK. Investors have granted the benefit of the doubt to Andrew Burnham, who is expected to be nominated leader of the Labour Party on Friday and Prime Minister on July 20.
Technical Analysis: Bears are showing signs of exhaustion
EUR/GBP trades at 0.8520, trading within a descending wedge, yet with momentum indicators hinting at a fading bearish impulse and the four-hour Relative Strength Index (14) showing a bullish divergence as it trends toward the 50 midline. Beyond that, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line, in the same timeframe, hovers slightly above zero, adding to the case for a potential bullish correction.
On the downside, immediate support is located at Friday's low in the 0.8510 area, ahead of the wedge bottom, now around 0.8500. Below these levels, there is no clear support area ahead of the early June 2025 lows, in the area of 0.8420.
On the topside, initial resistance is aligned with the descending trendline barrier, now around 0.8530, followed closely by a previous support-turned-resistance in the 0.8535 area. A confirmation above these levels would ease bearish pressure and shift the focus to the July 2, 3, and 6 highs, around 0.8570.

UOB’s Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann note that GBP/USD gapped lower after briefly breaking above 1.3445, with momentum turning down and risks of a test below 1.3360, though 1.3320 is seen as distant for now. They judge that the advance from late last month has ended and expects a 1.3320–1.3445 range in coming weeks, with broader 1.3210–1.3655 levels on a 1–3 month view.
Pound advance seen losing steam"24-HOUR VIEW: Last Friday, when GBP was at 1.3410, we indicated that “there is a chance for GBP to test the major resistance at 1.3445.” However, we were of the view that “a clear break above this level is unlikely.” We added, “support is at 1.3390.” While GBP rose more than expected to 1.3452, it then staged a sharp retreat to 1.3392 before closing largely unchanged at 1.3402 (-0.05%). Today, GBP gapped lower on the open. The rapid increase in momentum suggests GBP could break below 1.3360. The next support at 1.3320 is likely out of reach. Resistance is at 1.3390; a breach of 1.3410 would mean the immediate downward pressure has faded."
"1-3 WEEKS VIEW: We have held a positive GBP view since late last month (see annotations in the chart below). Last Thursday (09 Jul, spot at 1.3390), we highlighted that “while the risk remains on the upside, given that there has been no further increase in upward momentum, it is left to be seen if GBP can reach 1.3445.” After GBP rose to 1.3430, we highlighted on Friday (10 Jul, spot at 1.3410) that “upward momentum has strengthened somewhat, and should GBP break above 1.3445, the next level to watch is 1.3480.” The subsequent price movements did not quite turn out as expected. GBP broke above 1.3445 and printed a high of 1.3452 before dropping sharply. It continued to decline today. Although our ‘strong support’ level at 1.3360 has not been breached yet, upward momentum has largely faded. To put it another way, the GBP advance from late last month has ended, and for the time being, we expect GBP to trade in a range between 1.3320 and 1.3445."

XAG/USD struggles for the second consecutive day, trading around $58.20 per troy ounce during the European hours on Monday. The technical analysis of the daily chart shows that the spot price is remaining within the descending channel pattern, suggesting a prevailing bearish bias.
The XAG/USD pair is extending a bearish near-term bias as price holds below both the nine-period and 50-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). The alignment of shorter- and longer-term EMAs above spot suggests rallies remain capped, while the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) near 37 stays in bearish territory, hinting that downside pressure persists despite the recent bounce from the mid-$50s.
The price of the white metal could find immediate support at the seven-month low of $55.63, which was recorded on June 24. Further declines would put downward pressure on the XAG/USD pair to navigate the region around the lower boundary of the descending channel around $47.90.
On the upside, the immediate barrier lies at the nine-day EMA of $59.80, followed by the upper boundary of the descending channel around $60.50. A break above the channel would support the XAG/USD pair to test the 50-day EMA at $67.00.

Silver FAQs Silver is a precious metal highly traded among investors. It has been historically used as a store of value and a medium of exchange. Although less popular than Gold, traders may turn to Silver to diversify their investment portfolio, for its intrinsic value or as a potential hedge during high-inflation periods. Investors can buy physical Silver, in coins or in bars, or trade it through vehicles such as Exchange Traded Funds, which track its price on international markets.
Silver prices can move due to a wide range of factors. Geopolitical instability or fears of a deep recession can make Silver price escalate due to its safe-haven status, although to a lesser extent than Gold's. As a yieldless asset, Silver tends to rise with lower interest rates. Its moves also depend on how the US Dollar (USD) behaves as the asset is priced in dollars (XAG/USD). A strong Dollar tends to keep the price of Silver at bay, whereas a weaker Dollar is likely to propel prices up. Other factors such as investment demand, mining supply – Silver is much more abundant than Gold – and recycling rates can also affect prices.
Silver is widely used in industry, particularly in sectors such as electronics or solar energy, as it has one of the highest electric conductivity of all metals – more than Copper and Gold. A surge in demand can increase prices, while a decline tends to lower them. Dynamics in the US, Chinese and Indian economies can also contribute to price swings: for the US and particularly China, their big industrial sectors use Silver in various processes; in India, consumers’ demand for the precious metal for jewellery also plays a key role in setting prices.
Silver prices tend to follow Gold's moves. When Gold prices rise, Silver typically follows suit, as their status as safe-haven assets is similar. The Gold/Silver ratio, which shows the number of ounces of Silver needed to equal the value of one ounce of Gold, may help to determine the relative valuation between both metals. Some investors may consider a high ratio as an indicator that Silver is undervalued, or Gold is overvalued. On the contrary, a low ratio might suggest that Gold is undervalued relative to Silver.
Akcie jihokorejského výrobce paměťových čipů SK Hynix kótované na domácím trhu v Soulu zaznamenaly na začátku nového týdne nejhorší denní propad ve své historii, když klesly o více než 15 procent. Pondělní výprodej zasáhl celý jihokorejský trh. Třeba konkurenční Samsung Electronics ztratil bezmála 11 procent a hlavní index Kospi se propadl zhruba o devět procent.
K pádu SK Hynix došlo jen pár dní poté, co společnost vstoupila na americký trh prostřednictvím ADR, kde při svém pátečním debutu akcie posílily o 13 procent.
„Vstup na burzu ADR byl velmi úspěšný, ale velká část tohoto úspěchu již byla započítaná. Dnešní slabost zřejmě odráží typickou reakci ‚sell the news‘ a realizaci zisků spíše než jakoukoliv změnu fundamentálních ukazatelů,“ řekl agentuře Bloomberg Chan H. Lee, řídící partner hedgeového fondu Petra Capital Management v Soulu.
Nabídka akcií SK Hynix v hodnotě 26,5 miliardy dolarů byla investory i analytiky vnímána jako důležitý test chuti trhu financovat velké zahraniční emise a zároveň jako prověrka odolnosti současné AI rally. Navzdory rostoucím debatám o vysokých valuacích technologických titulů a enormních investicích do AI byla emise podle informací z trhu více než sedminásobně přeupsána.
SK Hynix se v posledních letech stal jedním z klíčových hráčů v dodavatelském řetězci AI díky dominantní pozici na trhu s HBM pamětmi (High Bandwidth Memory), které se používají v nejvýkonnějších AI akcelerátorech od Nvidie. Prudce rostoucí poptávka po těchto čipech pomohla firmě k rekordním ziskům, přičemž její akcie během posledních 12 měsíců vzrostly o více než 500 procent, připomíná Bloomberg.
Analytici z Korea Investment & Securities upozorňují, že provozní zisk SK Hynix za poslední čtvrtletí by mohl zaostat za tržním konsensem přibližně o osm procent. Důvodem je mimo jiné struktura tržeb firmy. Významný podíl pochází právě z HBM pamětí, jejichž ceny sice rostou, avšak pomaleji než u některých tradičních typů paměťových čipů. Kontrakty na dodávky HBM bývají často uzavírány na delší období a poskytují menší prostor pro rychlé promítnutí tržních cenových změn.
Na druhé straně vedení společnosti nadále zdůrazňuje, že globální nedostatek pamětí by mohl přetrvávat ještě řadu let. Generální ředitel SK Hynix Kwak Noh-Jung v nedávném rozhovoru uvedl, že napjatá situace na trhu nemusí skončit ani po roce 2030.
Od červnového historického maxima už každopádně akcie odepsaly přes 35 procent. Technické ukazatele přitom naznačují, že na titulu došlo z přehřátých úrovní z počátku tohoto roku k ochlazení. „Ještě jeden týden poklesu je možný, ale vnímáme to jako příležitost k dalšímu nákupu. Rally v Koreji by měla ADR vytlačit výše. Takže je to dobrá pozice k nákupu,“ uvedl Nico Rosti, analytik společnosti MRM Research.
Volatilita na korejské burze narůstá
Úspěch firem napojených na boom AI výrazně změnil dynamiku jihokorejského akciového trhu. Investoři, zejména ti drobní, ve velkém směřují kapitál právě do SK Hynix a Samsungu, což zvyšuje volatilitu.
K prudkým pohybům přispívá také popularita pákových ETF fondů navázaných na akcie obou výrobců pamětí. Výsledkem jsou mimořádně výrazné denní výkyvy indexu Kospi, který letos zažil již sedm obchodních přerušení kvůli extrémnímu pohybu trhu. Přitom od roku 2000 se takový zásah ze strany regulátorů uskutečnil pouze 13krát.
Rostoucí citlivost trhu se projevila i minulý týden po zveřejnění předběžných výsledků Samsungu. Přestože firma zůstává jedním z hlavních beneficientů AI trendu, investoři reagovali prodeji, které následně zasáhly širší technologický sektor.
Pražská burza v úvodu týdne klesá, když index PX odepisuje 0,67 %. V kladném teritoriu se pohybují především akcie CSG (+2,88 %), Primoco UAV (+2,36 %) a Photon Energy (+1,80 %).
Naopak nejvýrazněji ztrácí akcie VIG (-1,61 %), Erste (-1,05 %) a Colt (-0,78 %).
U Philip Morris ČR je dnes naplánována výplata dividendy.
Přední indexy v asijsko-pacifickém regionu uzavřely pondělní seanci v červených číslech. Na zelené nule uzavřel pouze Hang Seng a australský index. V čele poklesů stál jihokorejský Kospi, který odepsal necelých 9 %. Nedařilo se především akciím SK Hynix (-15,4 % ) a Samsungu (-10,7 %). Negativně na trhy působí zhoršená geopolitická situace na Blízkém východě a zvýšená volatilita na akciích spojených s umělou inteligencí.

Bitcoin has slipped into a quiet lull that reminds traders of previous pre-breakout periods. On Sunday, the largest digital asset drew close to a power law support trendline that Fidelity’s director of global macro, Jurien Timmer, has followed since 2015. According to the market update, Timmer labels current levels an accumulation zone. His hesitation is not about the valuation floor but about what he calls the absence of a catalyst to push price off that floor.
The Power Law Baseline A power law support line is not a moving average or a psychological round number. It represents a mathematical relationship where Bitcoin’s price rises as a constant power of the time since its genesis. Fidelity has used this tool for more than a decade to gauge whether Bitcoin is undervalued relative to its network adoption trajectory. The line has held through multiple cycles, including the 2018 trough and the 2022–2023 bear market bottom. Each prior touch was followed by an eventual repricing higher, sometimes after weeks of sideways drift.
Timmer’s accumulation zone call is important because it frames the current price not as a breakdown but as a possible re-entry region for longer-horizon capital. Still, he is careful. The macro backdrop in mid-2026 is fundamentally different from the zero-rate environment that fueled the 2020–2021 rally. Sovereign bond yields remain elevated, and risk appetite has been selective. That changes how much weight the historical pattern can carry.
The Missing Catalyst Accumulation zones without an immediate trigger can stretch into months of frustration. The last two times Bitcoin visited the power law support, the bounce was ignited by either a sharp dovish pivot from the Federal Reserve or a surge in spot ETF inflows. Neither is visible right now. Rate cuts are pencilled in for late 2026 at the earliest, and ETF flows have turned lukewarm after a strong first quarter.
Regulatory posturing adds another layer. A push by traditional banking interests to alter a landmark crypto bill just days before a Senate vote has created fresh uncertainty around market structure rules in the United States. The intensifying regulatory pressure from traditional banking interests makes it harder for institutional desks to commit fresh capital until the legislative path resolves. Market makers are in a holding pattern, reflected in shrinking order book depth on major exchanges.
Timmer’s phrasing is deliberate. He is not calling a top or a collapse. He is simply noting that the math says support, but the real world lacks a reason to wake up the bid. That gap between historical precedent and current macro conditions is where the story sits.
Broader Market Rotations While Bitcoin wrestles with its trendline, capital has not gone dormant. It has moved into corners of the market where momentum is easier to find. Tokenized real-world assets crossed $20 billion on-chain in recent weeks, driven by direct settlement experiments between major institutions. That institutional wave in digital assets shows that large players are still building infrastructure even when spot Bitcoin looks stuck. Meanwhile, altcoins with fresh institutional staking narratives have posted sharp rallies. Sui surged 18% in a single session after a Nasdaq-linked firm began staking large amounts, underscoring that demand for yield-bearing assets is far from exhausted.
These rotations are a double-edged signal. They confirm that institutional interest in crypto has not disappeared, but they also highlight that Bitcoin is currently losing its role as the first port of call for new money. When large traders pivot to altcoins and tokenized Treasuries, it often means they are seeking returns without the macro overhang that still clamps down on Bitcoin’s price discovery.
What Could Break the Stalemate A bounce off the power law line does not require a dramatic news event. It could begin as a low-volume squeeze that catches short sellers off guard, then gather momentum if ETF creation activity resumes. The catalyst Timmer mentions could be as mundane as a softer-than-expected inflation print that reopens the rate-cut conversation, or a sudden resolution of the Senate crypto bill dispute that clears the regulatory fog. Either would give macro traders a reason to reprice risk.
There is also a structural angle. Bitcoin mining economics have tightened, and several public miners have been selling into any strength to cover operating costs. If that selling pressure eases as older machinery is retired, the path back above the accumulation zone could look cleaner. Until then, the power law line serves as a well-telegraphed floor, but not a launchpad. The market knows where support sits. What it does not know is when demand will agree to show up.

‘Crypto Is The Future’Trump shared a candlestick chart of the ETH/BTC pair showing a 1.32% gain to 0.02837, saying, “ETH is pumping hard! Great to see! Crypto is the future…”
Notably, some users were quick to point out how ETH retreated immediately following Trump’s post.
World Liberty Financial, a Trump family-backed cryptocurrency venture, where he is listed as a co-founder, holds roughly $131 million in ETH, according to DropsTab. This makes ETH the second-largest holding in the platform’s portfolio.
Analyst Flags Crucial ResistanceMeanwhile, leading cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez announces a conditional long position on Ethereum, entering only if the price breaks $1,850 resistance.
Notably, ETH surged to an intraday high of $1,842 late Sunday evening before pulling back sharply into the upper $1,700 range
What Do Technicals SayThe Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator, which compares the 12-period and the 26-period exponential moving averages, flashed a “Buy” signal for ETH, according to TradingView.
Conversely, the Stochastic Oscillator, which measures the position of an asset’s current closing price relative to its highest and lowest prices over a set number of periods, signaled a “Sell.”
Price Action: At the time of writing, ETH was exchanging hands at $1,805.05, up 0.02% over the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
The Canadian Dollar (CAD) trades firmly against its major currency peers, but is flat at around 1.4160 against the US Dollar (USD) during the European trading session on Monday.
The Loonie outperforms as Oil prices have increased significantly, following the announcement that Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz, a vital passage to almost one-fifth of the global energy supply, again. As of writing, the WTI Oil price is up 3.75%, above $74.00. Given that Canada is a net energy exporter, higher oil prices bode well for the Canadian Dollar.
Canadian Dollar Price Today The table below shows the percentage change of Canadian Dollar (CAD) against listed major currencies today. Canadian Dollar was the strongest against the Australian Dollar.

For example, if you pick the Canadian Dollar from the left column and move along the horizontal line to the US Dollar, the percentage change displayed in the box will represent CAD (base)/USD (quote).
Over the weekend, Iran announced that the Hormuz would now be closed “until further notice”, as part of retaliation against several attacks from United States (US) military forces on various regions in Iran.
While the Canadian currency outperforms its major peers, it trades sideways against the US Dollar, as the safe-haven demand for the latter has improved amid renewed aggression in the Middle East. In the European trade, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which gauges the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, trades 0.12% higher to near 101.10.
Going forward, investors will focus on the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for June and the Bank of Canada’s (BoC) monetary policy announcement.
USD/CAD technical analysis
USD/CAD trades at 1.4163, holding a constructive near-term bias as it trades above the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 1.4139. The pair is consolidating near recent highs, and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at around 62 has eased out of overbought territory on the daily chart, suggesting the latest pause is more a cooldown than a clear reversal at this stage.
On the downside, immediate support is seen at the 20-day EMA around 1.4139, which coincides with the November 2025 high that used to be a major resistance for the pair earlier; below that, the June 18 low at 1.4095 is the key support zone. On the upside, the pair could revisit its yearly high at 1.4248 if it breaks above 1.4200.

Domino's Pizza demonstrates consistent top-line growth and a reliable history of dividend increases. DPZ's forward dividend yield of 2.66% stands about 9% above the sector median, enhancing its appeal as a revenue compounder. I view the stock's steady growth as justifying premium valuation but acknowledge risks from margin erosion, competition, and pressured consumer spending.
The Pound to Dollar (GBP/USD) exchange rate climbed over the past week, briefly reaching a three-week high as Sterling remained well supported despite renewed geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
At the time of writing, GBP/USD was trading at $1.3417, up around 0.5% on the week.

DAILY RECAP:
The US Dollar (USD) traded unevenly last week as renewed tensions in the Middle East created periods of safe-haven demand, although the currency struggled to hold onto its gains for long.
The 'Greenback' opened the week on a mixed footing, briefly finding support as US markets reopened after the Independence Day holiday before retreating as improving risk appetite reduced demand for the safe-haven currency.
Fresh attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz then boosted USD on Tuesday, as fears of a wider regional conflict prompted investors to seek safer assets.
However, the US Dollar lost momentum in the second half of the week. Despite escalating US-Iran tensions, resilient market sentiment limited demand for the safe-haven currency, while the Federal Reserve's latest meeting minutes offered little fresh policy guidance.
USD briefly fell to a three-week low against the Pound on Friday, although it recovered some ground before the close as trading remained volatile.
Meanwhile, the Pound (GBP) continued to strengthen over the past week as traders further reduced the political risk premium attached to Sterling following Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s resignation three weeks ago.
Sterling’s strong performance highlights the extent to which prolonged political uncertainty had been holding back the UK currency. With Andy Burnham now widely expected to replace Starmer through a smooth transition of power, confidence in the UK’s political outlook has continued to improve, providing additional support for the Pound.
The Pound also benefited from rising expectations that the Bank of England (BoE) will increase interest rates. Escalating tensions in the Middle East pushed oil prices higher, leading markets to price in a greater chance of another BoE rate hike.
Near-Term GBP/USD Forecast: UK GDP and US CPI in Focus Looking ahead, the spotlight for Pound investors this week will be Thursday’s UK GDP release. Economists expect the British economy to have returned to growth in May, with a modest 0.1% expansion forecast, which may provide Sterling with some support.
That said, the GDP figures are only likely to trigger a more pronounced reaction if they come in notably above or below expectations, potentially prompting sharp moves in the Pound.
Politics may also remain on investors’ radar. Andy Burnham could be officially confirmed as Labour leader on Friday if no other valid candidates enter the race. A smooth and orderly handover is likely to be viewed positively by markets, which could offer additional support to Sterling.
Meanwhile, the focus for USD investors will be the latest US consumer price index on Tuesday. If inflation cooled in June, as expected, the ‘Greenback’ could drop.
That said, fresh tensions in the Middle East could sour the market mood and lift USD.

Satya Nadella said that it was hypocritical for model makers to complain about distillation. Bloomberg/Getty Images Satya Nadella took a quiet swipe at AI labs like Anthropic for how they train their models.
In an X post on Sunday, the Microsoft CEO said that model makers complaining about distillation is hypocritical. Distillation is the process of training a less powerful model based on the outputs of a stronger one.
"While the great innovation that comes from model providers having fair use rights to train models on public data is needed, I find it ironic that the status quo is to then turn around and impose restrictive terms on distillation, and to reserve the right to learn from customer usage and interaction data," Nadella wrote.
He added that if learning only flows in one direction, owners of the learning infrastructure make all the money while creators of the knowledge get left out.
Frontier AI model makers like Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google DeepMind rely on work created by others to train their own models. ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini acquire their "intelligence" from publicly available writing, images, and other data. Numerous companies and individuals have sued the leading AI labs over nonconsensual content "scraping."
Though the lab was not named, Nadella's comments seemed especially targeted toward Anthropic. Earlier this year, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei complained that Chinese model makers are stealing his company's work, using Claude to train their own models.
Last month, Anthropic wrote a letter to South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren saying that Alibaba had recently carried out "the largest known distillation attack" on it to date.
"Competitors can use it to acquire powerful capabilities from other labs in a fraction of the time, and at a fraction of the cost, that it would take to develop them independently," Anthropic said in a lengthy statement on the subject in February.
Alibaba did not publicly respond to Anthropic's accusations at the time.
In Sunday's blog post, Nadella warned that companies relying on leading models are essentially handing over their proprietary data and then paying to use them.
He said companies should own their AI infrastructure and institutional knowledge rather than rely on any single model vendor. They should also conduct their own evaluations and their own "learning loop," allowing their AI capabilities to improve continuously over time.
"That is why enterprises need a real trust boundary for their human capital and token capital to compound," he said. "And it is a hard boundary across which nothing crosses, not even the intelligence exhaust, without consent."
Elon Musk has also criticized Anthropic for how it collects data and trains its models.
"Anthropic is guilty of stealing training data at massive scale and has had to pay multi-billion dollar settlements for their theft. This is just a fact," Musk wrote in a February X post, following Anthropic's complaint against Chinese models.
Anthropic did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.

It's been a tough year for Salesforce (CRM +0.51%), with the stock down nearly 40% year to date. The stock has been caught in the software-as-a-service (SaaS) sell-off, and investors worry about its position in an artificial intelligence (AI) world as its overall revenue growth has been stuck in a tight range.
The stock recently got more cold water poured on it when KeyBanc downgraded the stock from "overweight" to "sector weight," with analyst Jackson Ader saying that its agentic AI platform, Agentforce, hasn't been growing as expected. The analyst said the biggest issues appear to be that its customers' data is a mess and that the product isn't yet good enough. He added that in its surveys, CIOs expected to deprioritize Salesforce within their IT budgets in the coming year.

Now Salesforce is trying to fix these issues. First, it introduced Data 360, which employs zero-copy technology to extract data from a variety of sources, both within an organization and also from cloud providers and data warehouses, without dealing with the costs and time of transferring it. It also acquired master data management company Informatica to clean up and organize this data to make it more useful for agentic AI and to serve as a foundation for Agentforce.
More recently, the company has agreed to acquire Fin for $3.6 billion. Fin's main solution is a customer service AI agent, powered by its proprietary Apex AI model, that can help resolve complex customer issues across various channels. As a customer relationship management (CRM) solutions company, first and foremost, improving its offering in this area is a huge priority for the company. The deal is expected to close in Salesforce's fiscal Q4, which ends January 2027.
Image source: The Motley Fool.
Is the stock a buy? The downturn in Salesforce stock has driven its valuation down to a pretty inexpensive level. It now trades at a forward price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of under 3 based on fiscal 2027 analyst estimates and a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 11.5 times. Meanwhile, the company has consistently grown its revenue in the low double-digit range.
In a vacuum, this looks like a pretty attractive entry point; however, Salesforce will need to show accelerating revenue growth for the stock to really rebound from here. It hopes its prior acquisition of Informatica lays the foundation to clean up its customers' data to make it usable for AI agents, and that its pending acquisition of Fin gives it a better front end. If these acquisitions can solve these issues and help accelerate its revenue growth, then the stock looks like an undervalued bargain.
Ten years ago, a buyer of Lowe’s (NYSE:LOW | LOW Price Prediction) could pick up shares near $66 and collect a quarterly dividend that rose to $0.35 later in 2016. Today, the same share pays $1.25 per quarter, and the stock recently traded near $222. A decade of raises turned a modest-yield holding into a much larger paycheck on the original capital. That is the dividend-growth argument in one stock: the first check was not the point. The tenth-year check was.
That gap is the case for dividend growth investing, and it explains why the first question many income investors ask, “What does this yield today?” can be the wrong one. The better question is what the income stream can plausibly become after ten years of raises.
Why a Small Yield Wins the Long Race Start with the arithmetic every dividend-growth investor eventually internalizes. A portfolio yielding 3% and growing distributions 8% a year doubles its income stream in about nine years. Another nine years, and it has roughly quadrupled. A 9% yielder that holds its payout flat stays where it started in nominal dollars. The tradeoff is time: the low-yield grower may eventually overtake the high-yield alternative, but only if the dividend growth persists.
Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) shows the pattern cleanly. The annual dividend grew from $3.15 in 2016 to $5.14 in 2025, with the board recently lifting the quarterly rate to $1.34, its 64th consecutive year of increases. Over the same period shares are up 175%. The starting yield of roughly 3% was the least interesting number in the sequence.
The Growers Worth Owning Now Five names offer that setup right now: modest starting yields, credible growth engines, decades of raises behind them.
Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG) yields 2.9% and just delivered its 70th consecutive annual increase. Payments have run without interruption since 1890. Management expects to return roughly $10 billion in dividends in fiscal 2026 alongside about $5 billion in buybacks. Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO) pays 2.5%. The quarterly dividend moved from $0.35 in 2016 to $0.53 in 2026, and management guided 8% to 9% comparable EPS growth for the year, which funds the next raise. Lowe’s yields 2.2% but has been the fastest grower of the group. Its quarterly dividend went from $0.28 in 2016 to $1.25 in 2026, and shares are up 236% over ten years. NextEra Energy (NYSE:NEE) yields 2.6%, with management guiding roughly 10% annual dividend growth through 2026 and 6% thereafter, funded by a 33 GW renewables backlog. The stock has climbed 244% in ten years. Johnson & Johnson itself, yielding 2.0%, remains one of only two U.S. companies with an AAA credit rating and holds the longest consecutive dividend-growth streak of the group. Where Higher Current Yield Still Fits Realty Income sits at the other end of the tradeoff. The REIT recently yielded about 5.1%, pays monthly, and declared its 670th consecutive monthly dividend in 2026. Its first-quarter materials noted the 114th consecutive quarterly dividend increase, 98.9% occupancy, and 2026 AFFO-per-share guidance of $4.41 to $4.44, implying projected annual per-share growth of 3.0% to 3.7%. Blending a higher current payer like Realty Income with faster growers can add cash today without abandoning the compounding argument.
How to Use This The 10-year Treasury, recently at 4.48%, is the natural reference point. Any dividend stock yielding below that number is being bought for the growth of the payment, the possibility of price appreciation, or both. That is the trade: accept less current income in exchange for a stream that may grow enough to overtake higher-yield alternatives over time.
Before You Pick a Dividend Stock When screening, compare five-year and ten-year dividend CAGR alongside the current yield. A 2.5% yielder growing 10% is a completely different security than a 2.5% yielder growing 2%. Track yield on cost inside your own account. It is the number that tells you whether the growth thesis is actually working for the capital you have deployed. If current cash matters immediately (retirement, semi-retirement, tuition years), pair a monthly payer like Realty Income with two or three growers rather than tilting the entire portfolio toward high current yield. The paycheck that ends up mattering most arrives in year fifteen, long after the current-yield question has faded into the background.

TAIPEI, July 13 (Reuters) - TSMC, the world's largest contract chipmaker, reported on Monday second-quarter revenue that rose 36% from a year earlier to a record high on surging interest in artificial intelligence applications.
Revenue in the April-June period of this year came in at T$1.27 trillion ($39.62 billion), according to Reuters calculations, slightly above a T$1.264 trillion LSEG SmartEstimate drawn from 20 analysts.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) (2330.TW), opens new tab, is a major supplier to companies including Nvidia (NVDA.O), opens new tab and Apple (AAPL.O), opens new tab.
On its last earnings call in April, the company predicted second-quarter revenue of between $39 billion and $40.2 billion. The company gives its forecast only in U.S. dollars and not Taiwan dollars.
For June alone, TSMC reported that revenue rose 67.9% year-on-year to T$442.68 billion, which was up 6.2% compared with the previous month.
The data was originally due last Friday, but it was delayed due to the impending arrival of Typhoon Bavi, which shut financial markets in Taipei that day.
TSMC, Asia's most valuable publicly listed company with a market capitalisation of $1.955 trillion, did not provide any details or forward guidance in its brief revenue statement.
It is scheduled to report second-quarter earnings on Thursday, when it will also update its outlook and plans for the current quarter and the rest of the year.
TSMC is expected to report a 58.8% on-year rise in second-quarter net profit, according to an LSEG SmartEstimate.
TSMC's Taipei-listed shares closed up 1% on Monday ahead of the release of the sales data. The broader market (.TWII), opens new tab closed flat.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. reported a 67.9% year-on-year rise in its June sales on Monday, ahead of its second-quarter earnings release later this week.
For the first half of 2026, TSMC's total revenue reached 2.4 trillion new Taiwan dollars ($74.99 billion), representing a 35.6% increase compared to the same period in 2025. TSMC reported June revenue of NT$ 442.68 billion — a 6.2% increase from the previous month.
The Taiwanese chip giant's shares were trading 1% higher Monday.
The company' growth has been boosted by demand for artificial intelligence chips and infrastructure investments.
The world's largest contract chipmaker manufactures semiconductors for a wide range of applications, spanning from smartphones to high-performance AI computing systems, with key clients including U.S. technology leaders such as AI darling Nvidia, Apple and Advanced Micro Devices.
TSMC plans to add two advanced chip packaging plants in the Chiayi Science Park in southern Taiwan, Reuters reported, citing remarks made by Taiwan's National Science and Technology Council Minister Wu Cheng-wen on Sunday. Wu noted that the site's first facility is already in mass production, with the second expected to begin shortly.
TSMC, which commands a 73% share of the global pure-foundry market — chips manufactured for clients — in the first quarter of 2026, according to data from Counterpoint Research, is set to report its second-quarter earnings on Thursday, July 16.
TSMC’s second-quarter revenue beat market expectations, giving investors another sign that demand for AI chips remains strong heading into the semiconductor earnings season.
The world’s largest contract chipmaker reported April-June revenue of NT$1.27 trillion, or about $39.63 billion, up 36% from a year earlier and slightly ahead of the NT$1.264 trillion expected by analysts.
TSMC stock surged over 1% on Monday as investors looked for proof that TSMC’s premium valuation can still be backed by sales growth, not just enthusiasm around artificial intelligence.
The revenue beat reinforces TSMC’s position at the centre of the AI supply chain.
The company manufactures advanced chips for customers tied to AI accelerators, smartphones and high-performance computing, making its sales one of the clearest reads on global demand for next-generation semiconductors.
The result also comes after a strong first quarter, when TSMC said AI adoption across consumer, enterprise and sovereign applications was driving demand for greater computing power.
That trend has kept advanced-node capacity tight and helped support pricing across the foundry market.
TSMC’s official guidance had pointed to second-quarter revenue of $39 billion to $40.2 billion, so the reported figure landed inside the company’s range while still clearing market expectations.
The bigger question for investors is whether TSMC can turn strong revenue into margin resilience and a stronger outlook.
The company is scheduled to report full second-quarter earnings on July 16, when traders will focus on gross margin, capital expenditure and comments on AI demand.
TSMC’s US-listed shares have already had a powerful run this year, with investors treating the company as a core beneficiary of AI infrastructure spending.
That raises the bar for the earnings call. A revenue beat helps, but the stock may need guidance upgrades or firmer margin commentary to extend the rally.
The wider setup is supportive as chip earnings are moving back into focus after SK Hynix’s large US listing and strong demand for AI memory exposure.
But the sector has also seen sharp swings as investors debate whether AI valuations have run ahead of cash-flow growth.

Capacity plans remain the swing factorTSMC is still investing heavily to meet demand.
Taiwan officials said the company will add two more advanced packaging plants in Chiayi, expanding capacity for technologies such as CoWoS, which are critical for AI chips.
That is positive for long-term growth, but it also keeps capital intensity high. Investors will want to know whether TSMC can expand capacity without eroding returns.
For now, the revenue update keeps the stock story constructive. AI demand is still showing up in the numbers.
The next test is whether earnings and guidance can justify the market’s confidence.
UOB’s Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann highlight that EUR/USD has slipped after testing 1.1460, with increasing downward momentum but major support at 1.1360 seen as difficult to reach near term. For the coming 1–3 weeks, they expect EUR/USD to remain in a 1.1360–1.1450 range. On a multi‑week view, a break of the 1.1390/1.1410 support zone would target 1.1210.
Euro seen confined in set band"24-HOUR VIEW: EUR rose to a high of 1.1449 last Thursday. When it was at 1.1430 on Friday, we highlighted the following: “The slight increase in upward momentum suggests EUR may retest 1.1450. A continued rise above this level is unlikely. Support is at 1.1420; a breach of 1.1405 would mean that the prevailing mild upward pressure has eased.” We were not wrong, as EUR rose to 1.1460 and then dropped back down to 1.1410. EUR closed at 1.1413, but it opened with a slight gap down this morning. While the increasing downward momentum suggests EUR could decline further, the major support at 1.1360 could be out of reach. Note that there is another support level at 1.1375. To sustain the downward momentum, EUR must hold below 1.1420, with minor resistance at 1.1405."
"Our most recent narrative was from last Thursday (09 Jul, spot at 1.1420), when we highlighted that EUR “has likely moved back into a range-trading phase, expected to be between 1.1360 and 1.1450.” After EUR rose to 1.1449, we highlighted on Friday that “although EUR subsequently rose to 1.1449, there has been no clear increase in upward momentum.” We also highlighted that “looking ahead, with momentum remaining flat, a break above 1.1450 is likely to result in a broader trading range rather than a sustained move higher.” Although EUR subsequently rose above 1.1450 with a high of 1.1460, it retreated from the high. The price action still appears to be part of a range-trading phase, and for the time being, we continue to expect EUR to trade between 1.1360 and 1.1450"

The Pound to Euro (GBP/EUR) exchange rate extended its recent rally last week, with Sterling repeatedly climbing to fresh one-year highs as fading UK political uncertainty and diverging central bank expectations continued to favour the Pound.
At the time of writing, GBP/EUR was trading at €1.1741, close to its highest level since June 2025 and up around 0.6% on the week.
Latest — Exchange Rates:
Pound to Euro (GBP/EUR): 1.173789 (-0.05%)
Pound to Dollar (GBP/USD): 1.339 (-0.12%)
Euro to Dollar (EUR/USD): 1.14075 (-0.06%)
DAILY RECAP:
The Pound (GBP) extended its recent bullish run last week, as markets continued to unwind the political risk premium in GBP following the resignation of Prime Minister Keir Starmer three weeks ago.
Sterling’s impressive gains show just how heavily months of political uncertainty had been weighing on the UK currency. With it now looking almost certain that Andy Burnham will succeed Starmer with an orderly transition of power, renewed confidence has continued to lift the Pound.
GBP also drew support from growing expectations that the Bank of England (BoE) will raise interest rates. Fresh tensions in the Middle East triggered a spike in oil prices, which in turn prompted a rise in BoE rate hike bets.
Meanwhile, the Euro (EUR) found itself exposed to losses through the first half of the week, as the common currency suffered from its strong negative correlation with the rising US Dollar (USD).
This outweighed some positive German economic data, with factory orders and industrial production in the Eurozone’s largest economy both exceeding forecasts in May.
The Euro tried to put up a fight on Thursday, with a softening US Dollar providing EUR with fleeting support.
However, the single currency continued to refresh one-year lows against the Pound throughout the week.
Near-Term GBP/EUR Forecast: UK GDP in Focus Looking forward, the focus for GBP investors this week will be the UK’s latest GDP figures on Thursday. Markets expect the British economy to have recovered by 0.1% in May, which could offer GBP modest support.
However, more notable movement in Sterling is only likely if the GDP data beats or misses forecasts, in which case we could see big swings in the Pound.
Meanwhile, UK politics could continue to influence the currency. Andy Burnham could be formally confirmed as Labour leader on Friday, if no other valid candidates are nominated. This could underpin the Pound, if markets welcome the smooth, swift transition of power.
As for the Euro, an expected rise in Eurozone industrial production in May could support the single currency on Wednesday.
EUR could then face some pressure on Friday, if the Eurozone’s final consumer price index confirms that inflation cooled in June.

Gold FAQs Gold has played a key role in human’s history as it has been widely used as a store of value and medium of exchange. Currently, apart from its shine and usage for jewelry, the precious metal is widely seen as a safe-haven asset, meaning that it is considered a good investment during turbulent times. Gold is also widely seen as a hedge against inflation and against depreciating currencies as it doesn’t rely on any specific issuer or government.
Central banks are the biggest Gold holders. In their aim to support their currencies in turbulent times, central banks tend to diversify their reserves and buy Gold to improve the perceived strength of the economy and the currency. High Gold reserves can be a source of trust for a country’s solvency. Central banks added 1,136 tonnes of Gold worth around $70 billion to their reserves in 2022, according to data from the World Gold Council. This is the highest yearly purchase since records began. Central banks from emerging economies such as China, India and Turkey are quickly increasing their Gold reserves.
Gold has an inverse correlation with the US Dollar and US Treasuries, which are both major reserve and safe-haven assets. When the Dollar depreciates, Gold tends to rise, enabling investors and central banks to diversify their assets in turbulent times. Gold is also inversely correlated with risk assets. A rally in the stock market tends to weaken Gold price, while sell-offs in riskier markets tend to favor the precious metal.
The price can move due to a wide range of factors. Geopolitical instability or fears of a deep recession can quickly make Gold price escalate due to its safe-haven status. As a yield-less asset, Gold tends to rise with lower interest rates, while higher cost of money usually weighs down on the yellow metal. Still, most moves depend on how the US Dollar (USD) behaves as the asset is priced in dollars (XAU/USD). A strong Dollar tends to keep the price of Gold controlled, whereas a weaker Dollar is likely to push Gold prices up.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Verra common stock during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Verra class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/verra-mobility-corporation-2026/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 4, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered billions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the complaint, defendants provided overwhelmingly positive statements to investors while, at the same time, disseminating materially false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts concerning the true state of Verra’s relationship with Avis Budget Group (“Avis”), and in particular obtaining a contract extension with Avis. Further, Verra minimized concerns that major rent-a-cars could replace Verra with in-house solutions or outsourced alternatives. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

The S&P 500 is up 10.3% YTD, and Wall Street is convinced the markets have more room to run, particularly for this group of stocks we have uncovered. JPMorgan just tagged CECO Environmental (NASDAQ:CECO) with a $130 price target, implying roughly 65% upside from where the stock closed Friday. Bigger and more interesting calls landed on other desks this week. Here are the five names sell-side desks are pounding the table on right now, ranked by conviction and catalyst timing.
1. Perimeter Solutions: The Fire Retardant Monopoly Nobody Talks About Start with the name most portfolios do not own. Perimeter Solutions (NYSE:PRM) makes the red fire retardant dumped from tanker planes onto wildfires, and it is effectively the only US supplier of scale. JPMorgan initiated coverage at Overweight with a $50 price target representing roughly 50% upside, calling it a “niche market leader” with a “disciplined M&A playbook proving portable beyond fire.” Translation: the government has to buy from them, and they just bought a second monopoly.
The Medical Manufacturing Technologies (MMT) acquisition, a $685 million bolt-on deal that closed in January, drove Specialty Products revenue up 128% to $79.6 million in Q1. Fire Safety alone grew 22% to $45.5 million and adjusted EBITDA jumped 128% to $41.2 million. Meanwhile, management signed fresh five-year contracts with the US Defense Logistics Agency and the California Department of Forestry in April. Total Q1 revenue of $125.07 million was up 73.6% year over year, with EPS of $0.06 surpassing the $0.02 estimate.
The surprise pick has government contracts, monopoly pricing, and a 50% analyst target sitting on top of an already M&A-supercharged quarter. Now for the heavyweight everyone is chasing.
2. CECO Environmental: The AI Data Center Pick Hiding in Industrials CECO is the classic “why did I not own this” call. The company sells industrial air, water, and energy transition equipment, and it is suddenly ground zero for AI-driven data center power buildout. JPMorgan’s $130 target is built on the recently announced Thermon acquisition, which the desk calls “transformative,” lifting recurring short-cycle revenue to about 40% of the mix and effectively doubling adjusted EBITDA. Independent 2026 outlooks peg data center equipment growth as roughly 25% annually and “essentially locked in for the next four to five years,” and CECO sits directly in that revenue stream.
The company’s Q1 numbers already reflect the shift. Orders exploded 97% year over year to $449.5 million, while backlog “eclipsed” $1.04 billion, up 72%. Management raised FY26 guidance to a range of $940 million to $1 billion in revenue with adjusted EBITDA of $120 million to $140 million. CEO Todd Gleason called out data centers, AI computing, industrial reshoring, and electrification as the demand stack driving orders: April alone delivered more than $450 million in new bookings, including the largest-ever Natural Gas Power order.
Shares have advanced 175.4% over the past year, which means the $130 call is a bet that the multi-year AI power cycle is nowhere near priced in. The next name pays you regardless of what the AI trade does.
3. Ligand Pharmaceuticals: The Royalty Compounder Wall Street Just Repriced Ligand Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:LGND) owns royalty streams on other companies’ drugs rather than selling its own. Bank of America just raised its target to $388 from $266, a 46% increase, arguing the growth story is still underappreciated even after the run. The catalyst: Ligand’s pending acquisition of XOMA Royalty at $39 per share, closing in Q3 2026, which folds in more than 120 commercial, clinical, and preclinical assets including Vabysmo, Ojemda, and Miplyffa.
The engine underneath is already humming. Q1 royalty revenue climbed 56% year over year, coming in at $43 million, and adjusted EPS came in at $1.63. Filspari, now the largest royalty contributor after receiving full FDA approval in focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, posted 88% year-over-year growth to $105 million in US net product sales. Management reaffirmed FY26 guidance of $270 million to $310 million in total revenue and adjusted EPS per diluted share of $8.50 to $9.50.

The stock is already up 67.26% year to date, and BofA is telling you that is still cheap. To keep things interesting, the next pick is the exact opposite setup: a stock that has been left for dead.
4. Toast: The Comeback Trade Goldman Just Called Toast (NYSE:TOST | TOST Price Prediction), a digital tech platform for restaurants, has gotten crushed. Shares are down 34.1% over the past year on competitive fears in SMB payments and margin pressure from hardware. Goldman Sachs looked at the wreckage and upgraded to Buy with a $36 target, arguing the reset is done and the AI product cycle is starting. If you want the trade of Wall Street’s greatest hits, the Breakout Buyer’s Rulebook is where these bounce setups get pressure-tested.
The Q1 report was better than the stock chart suggests. Revenue grew 21.9% year over year to $1.63 billion, net income doubled to $126 million, and ARR crossed $2.2 billion, up 26%. Toast added about 7,000 net new locations, bringing the total to roughly 171,000, and launched its first AI agent dubbed Toast IQ Grow. Management raised FY26 adjusted EBITDA guidance to $790 million to $810 million. The company also bought back $378 million in stock through May 6 in an attempt to return value to shareholders.
CEO Aman Narang says the platform can scale to “$5 billion and $10 billion in ARR over the next decade.” The last name on this list is playing for a bigger number in a shorter window.
5. Revolution Medicines: The Binary Payoff Wall Street Cannot Stop Talking About Save the biggest swing for last. Revolution Medicines (NASDAQ:RVMD) just posted Phase 3 data in previously treated metastatic pancreatic cancer that could reset expectations for one of oncology’s toughest markets. Its lead oncology candidate, daraxonrasib, delivered median overall survival of 13.2 months versus 6.7 months for chemotherapy in the overall study population, with a hazard ratio of 0.40 and p<0.0001. Management plans to submit the data to the FDA as part of a future New Drug Application under the Commissioner’s National Priority Voucher program.
The setup around the filing is loaded. Revolution raised roughly $2.1 billion in net proceeds from April financings, leaving it with about $4 billion in pro forma cash to support launch preparation and a wider RAS(ON) pipeline. The company has four clinical-stage RAS(ON) inhibitors in development, with multiple registrational Phase 3 trials advancing across pancreatic cancer and lung cancer.
Wall Street has piled in, with analyst coverage overwhelmingly bullish and few skeptics left on the sidelines. The stock has climbed sharply, up more than 130% year to date and roughly 385% over the past year, turning Revolution into one of biotech’s biggest swing stories of 2026.
The Thread Five names, five different catalysts, one pattern: every call sits on a hard-dated 2026 event. PRM’s MMT integration and government contracts. CECO’s Thermon close and AI power backlog. Ligand’s XOMA acquisition and Filspari ramp. Toast’s raised guidance and AI product cycle. Revolution’s FDA submission on Phase 3 pancreatic cancer data. Wait for the next earnings cycle and these setups will already have moved.

The AUD/JPY cross trades in negative territory around 112.25 during the early European trading hours on Monday. The Japanese Yen (JPY) strengthens against the Australian Dollar (AUD) amid a renewed push by Japanese authorities for the nation’s massive public pension funds to increase allocations to domestic assets.
"The pension funds are pretty large in size (and) currently, 50 per cent is allocated to foreign investments in their strategic allocation, (so) a shift in that would definitely create a lot more inflows for domestic assets," said Fabien Yip, a market analyst at IG. "That's supportive of the currency and at the same time, also supportive of equities and bonds,” Yip added.
Technical Analysis:In the daily chart, AUD/JPY holds a mildly bearish bias as it slips under the Bollinger middle band and consolidates just above the lower half of the recent range. The 20-day Bollinger envelope now caps price action, while the 100-day simple moving average (SMA) around 112.59 remains an underlying trend reference, suggesting that recent weakness is still occurring within a broader uptrend. The Relative Strength Index (14) has eased to about 47, hinting at fading upside momentum without yet indicating oversold conditions.
On the topside, immediate resistance emerges at the Bollinger middle band near 112.35, with further upside barriers seen at the upper Bollinger band around 113.52. On the downside, a move below the recent band floor near 111.15 would expose deeper corrective risk, with the broader trend still anchored by the longer-term 100-day SMA acting as an important demand area on pullbacks.

Japanese Yen FAQs The Japanese Yen (JPY) is one of the world’s most traded currencies. Its value is broadly determined by the performance of the Japanese economy, but more specifically by the Bank of Japan’s policy, the differential between Japanese and US bond yields, or risk sentiment among traders, among other factors.
One of the Bank of Japan’s mandates is currency control, so its moves are key for the Yen. The BoJ has directly intervened in currency markets sometimes, generally to lower the value of the Yen, although it refrains from doing it often due to political concerns of its main trading partners. The BoJ ultra-loose monetary policy between 2013 and 2024 caused the Yen to depreciate against its main currency peers due to an increasing policy divergence between the Bank of Japan and other main central banks. More recently, the gradually unwinding of this ultra-loose policy has given some support to the Yen.
Over the last decade, the BoJ’s stance of sticking to ultra-loose monetary policy has led to a widening policy divergence with other central banks, particularly with the US Federal Reserve. This supported a widening of the differential between the 10-year US and Japanese bonds, which favored the US Dollar against the Japanese Yen. The BoJ decision in 2024 to gradually abandon the ultra-loose policy, coupled with interest-rate cuts in other major central banks, is narrowing this differential.
The Japanese Yen is often seen as a safe-haven investment. This means that in times of market stress, investors are more likely to put their money in the Japanese currency due to its supposed reliability and stability. Turbulent times are likely to strengthen the Yen’s value against other currencies seen as more risky to invest in.

Central banks from emerging economies such as China, India and Turkey are quickly increasing their Gold reserves.
Gold has an inverse correlation with the US Dollar and US Treasuries, which are both major reserve and safe-haven assets. When the Dollar depreciates, Gold tends to rise, enabling investors and central banks to diversify their assets in turbulent times. Gold is also inversely correlated with risk assets. A rally in the stock market tends to weaken Gold price, while sell-offs in riskier markets tend to favor the precious metal.
The price can move due to a wide range of factors. Geopolitical instability or fears of a deep recession can quickly make Gold price escalate due to its safe-haven status. As a yield-less asset, Gold tends to rise with lower interest rates, while higher cost of money usually weighs down on the yellow metal. Still, most moves depend on how the US Dollar (USD) behaves as the asset is priced in dollars (XAU/USD). A strong Dollar tends to keep the price of Gold controlled, whereas a weaker Dollar is likely to push Gold prices up.

USD/JPY gains ground after two days of losses, trading around 162.00 during the Asian hours on Monday. The currency pair is keeping a bullish near-term bias as spot holds above both the nine-period and 50-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs).
Additionally, the daily technical analysis indicates that the USD/JPY pair is remaining within an ascending channel pattern, suggesting a prevailing bullish bias. Meanwhile, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) has eased back toward the mid-50s, suggesting the latest consolidation is working off previous overbought conditions without yet undermining the broader uptrend.
The USD/JPY pair could find initial resistance at the 40-year high of 162.84, which was reached on July 1, followed by the upper boundary of the ascending channel around 164.00.
On the downside, the immediate support lies at the nine-day EMA of 161.98, followed by the lower boundary of the ascending channel around 160.80, followed by the 50-day EMA at 160.58. A break below the channel would expose the four-month low of 155.04, recorded on May 6.
