Welcome back to Forex Focus on rawfin.tv. I'm your FX strategist. The Dollar Index shows resilience today. Geopolitical tensions from US strikes near Hormuz offer support. However a strong AI-driven tech rally is capping gains. US futures are rising. This creates a push-pull dynamic for the greenback. EUR USD trades flat at 1.1659. The pair saw minimal movement. US PCE data showed a nearly three-year high. This hints at potential Fed hawkishness. The market awaits clearer ECB signals. Volatility is spiking in exotics. USD ZAR is seeing unusual swings. The 'Extreme Fear' index at 23 drives this. Carry trades are feeling the pressure. Central banks are in focus. The Fed remains data-dependent. High PCE data suggests higher-for-longer rates. The ECB maintains a cautious tone. They monitor inflation closely. The BOJ faces yen weakness. USD JPY sits at 159.27. Intervention risks remain elevated. For tomorrow watch EUR USD closely. Support lies at 1.1620. Resistance is firm at 1.1700. Navigate these levels carefully. That's your Forex Focus.
