▶️ Pro News Weekly: Markets Brace for the Fed

Welcome to Pro News Weekly!

💵 The U.S. dollar is holding steady despite rising Treasury yields and growing expectations that the Federal Reserve could tighten monetary policy further. Brent crude's sharp rally has reignited inflation concerns, lifting the probability of additional rate hikes, although strength in the euro, pound and Japanese yen has prevented the dollar from making a decisive move higher.

📊 Stock indices remain resilient as investors focus on strong second-quarter earnings season rather than geopolitical risks or higher interest rate expectations. Wall Street is forecasting one of the strongest profit growth periods since 2021, with all eleven S&P 500 sectors expected to report higher earnings as confidence improves beyond the AI sector.

🪙 Gold is struggling to sustain gains above $4,100 per ounce as expectations of tighter monetary policy, a stronger U.S. dollar and higher Treasury yields reduce demand for the precious metal. Although gold briefly rebounded on short covering, analysts believe the broader backdrop remains challenging for further upside.

₿ Bitcoin has paused below $67,000 as investors rotate back into technology stocks following upbeat corporate earnings expectations. Despite the recent slowdown, optimism remains high, with Wall Street forecasting significant upside for Strategy as confidence in Bitcoin's longer-term recovery continues to build.

📊 With the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision, U.S. GDP, European inflation, and policy meetings from the Bank of England and Bank of Japan all coming up next week, markets could be in for another volatile week.

Will these events set the next direction for currencies, commodities and stock indices?

▶️ FxPro: What’s Moving Markets Next Week

Stay informed with FxPro’s weekly update and stay ahead of what’s shaping the markets.

Markets are heading into another important week of economic data, with central bank decisions, economic growth and inflation all set to shape expectations for interest rates and global markets. 🌍

Wednesday begins with the latest Federal Reserve interest rate decision. The benchmark rate is expected to remain at 3.75%, but investors will be paying close attention to the accompanying statement and press conference for any clues on the timing of potential rate cuts later this year. 🇺🇸

Attention then shifts to Thursday, when the Bank of England announces its latest interest rate decision. 🇬🇧 Later in the day, the first estimate of US second-quarter GDP will provide fresh insight into the strength of the world's largest economy and could influence expectations for future Federal Reserve policy. 📈

Friday wraps up the week with the Bank of Japan's latest monetary policy decision, followed by the Eurozone's latest inflation report. Both releases could have a significant impact on currency markets as investors assess the outlook for global interest rates. 🇯🇵🇪🇺

With central bank policy, economic growth and inflation all in focus, currencies, indices and commodities could see increased volatility throughout the week. 👀

The crypto market is increasingly buying the dips

The crypto market capitalisation has been gradually rising, reaching the $2.24T mark and recouping a significant portion of the losses incurred last Thursday and Friday. The recovery is being driven by a slight de-escalation between the US and Iran, which is fuelling risk appetite and leading to a series of higher local lows. Among the top altcoins over the past seven days, leading coins have shown gains ranging from Uniswap (+13%), Aave (+13.2%), and Aptos (+7.5%) to declines in Zcash (- 4.8%), Cosmos (-4.1%) and NEAR Protocol (-2.6%).

On Friday, Bitcoin fell below the uptrend’s support line in place since the start of the month, hitting a local low of $63.6K. This was an attempt by the bears to push the price down towards the 50-day moving average. However, ahead of the start of active trading in Europe on Monday, the price once again exceeded $65K, with attempts to maintain an upward trend while remaining above a significant medium-term trend line.

Bitcoin has failed to break away from its long-term trend

The crypto market trended lower at the end of Monday, mirroring the US equity market, as it fell from a peak of $2.23T to $2.16T before returning to recent local lows of $2.18T by Tuesday morning. This marks yet another test of the 50-day moving average (MA) as support, which sellers have been testing over the past couple of weeks. Among the top coins, losses ranged from -1.4% for Bitcoin Cash and -1.5% for BNB to -8.8% for Near and -8% for Basic Attention Token.

Bitcoin closed higher on Monday despite significant afternoon selling pressure. On Tuesday, the sell-off ahead of the start of Asian trading showed that bears remain in control, driving the price down from $65K to $63K, with a slight rebound to $63.4K. Consequently, the leading cryptocurrency is failing to break above the 200-week moving average, which the market had traded above for the previous three weeks. This is typical behaviour following a dip below this important long-term moving average, as the market is saturated with negativity in the lead-up to this level. It will likely take a few more weeks of stability or positive momentum to draw the wider public into the market.

▶️ AUDUSD. Downside Outlook

Today is Tuesday, the 28th of July, and let’s talk about the Australian dollar, which we haven’t looked at for quite some time.

The overall picture remains largely unchanged. Essentially, we saw a fairly significant market rally throughout 2025 and part of 2026, and now a major downward correction is taking shape

🇺🇸 US Pre-Market: Mostly Positive 📈

Positive trends are prevailing in the US stock market pre-market.

In the Information Technology sector, Apple (AAPL) is up 0.73%, while NVIDIA (NVDA) is down 0.26%.

In the Financials sector, JPMorgan Chase (JPM) is up 0.62%, while Bank of America (BAC) is down 0.48%.

In the Consumer Staples sector, Procter & Gamble (PG) is up 2.10%, while PepsiCo (PEP) is up 1.87%.

From a foreign exchange perspective, the current picture is consistent with a risk-on environment: rising share prices among major technology and consumer companies are supporting demand for risk assets. At the same time, interest in the dollar as a safe-haven currency remains subdued. This creates a neutral-to-moderate backdrop for the dollar: the dollar index may remain stable or undergo a slight correction, with no clear momentum toward appreciation, absent any shift in Fed policy expectations.

▶️ Pro News Flash: Markets Brace for a Fed Decision

💵 The US dollar is holding steady despite rising Treasury yields as stronger oil prices fuel concerns that inflation could accelerate again. Expectations for additional Federal Reserve rate hikes have increased sharply, but strength in the euro, pound and Japanese yen is preventing the dollar from making a decisive move.

📊 US stock indices continue to trade near record highs as investors focus on second-quarter earnings rather than geopolitical tensions or the prospect of tighter monetary policy. Wall Street expects one of the strongest earnings seasons in years, with all eleven S&P 500 sectors forecast to report profit growth.

🪙 Gold remains under pressure as rising bond yields, a resilient US dollar and expectations of higher interest rates reduce demand for the precious metal. Although gold recently bounced from key support, analysts believe the rally could prove short-lived if central banks remain committed to fighting inflation.

₿ Bitcoin has struggled to extend its recent recovery as investors rotate back into major technology stocks ahead of earnings season. However, bullish forecasts for Strategy and continued confidence in crypto ETFs suggest institutional optimism toward Bitcoin remains intact.

⚠️ With the Federal Reserve meeting approaching alongside key US GDP, European inflation and central bank decisions from the Bank of England and Bank of Japan, investors are preparing for another potentially volatile week across currencies, commodities, cryptocurrencies and global stock markets.
