▶️ Pro News Flash: The Euro Is Surging
💶 The Euro-Dollar has surged above 1.16 as weak US employment and retail sales, alongside slowing inflation, reduce expectations of further Fed tightening and strengthen the euro.
📈 A growing divergence between the Fed and ECB is supporting the common currency, with Goldman Sachs expecting no Fed rate hikes in 2026 while seeing the ECB potentially tighten policy in September.
🏦 Futures markets reinforce the bullish outlook, pricing an 84% probability of an ECB rate hike in September compared with just 35% for the Fed, while 30-year US Treasury yields climb to their highest level since 2007.
⚠️ The euro now faces key risks from Middle East tensions and Brent crude above $91, which could reignite US inflation and strengthen the dollar. Oil prices, the July FOMC minutes and upcoming business activity data will be crucial for the next move.

BTC is range-bound, shrugging off the weakness in equities
The crypto market capitalisation has changed little over the past 24 hours, remaining close to $2.19T. Still, polarisation within the market has intensified, widening the trading range of the most actively traded coins. The top three performers were IOTA (+3.9%), Polkadot (+2.8%) and Hedera (+2.5%); the three worst performers were Immutable (-5.6%), Near Protocol (-3.6%) and Internet Computer (-2.9%). Once again, the crypto market showed a negative or virtually non-existent correlation with the equity market, which saw a significant sell-off on Tuesday.
Bitcoin touched the $65K level at the start of US trading on Tuesday, but was subsequently met with cautious yet fairly persistent selling pressure, pushing the price down to $64.3K. A sequence of lower local highs and higher lows suggests that the battle is centred around the $63.7K level. We will only be able to say that BTC has chosen a direction once it breaks out of the $62.7K-$65.3K range. Although the short-term divergence between Bitcoin and equities is nothing new, a sustained decline in equities will drag cryptocurrencies down with it, starting with the flagship asset.

🇺🇸 US Pre-Market: Moderately Positive 📈
Moderately positive trends are prevailing in the US stock market pre-market.
In the Financials sector, JPMorgan Chase (JPM) is up 0.40%, while Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) is down 0.03%.
In the Information Technology sector, NVIDIA (NVDA) is up 0.58%, while Apple (AAPL) is down 0.07%.
In the Health Care sector, Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) is up 1.05%, while Abbott Laboratories (ABT) is up 0.73%.
From a currency perspective, this is consistent with a risk-on environment: gains among large-cap technology and pharmaceutical companies indicate investor willingness to take on risk within the US. Demand for the dollar as a safe haven is limited, keeping the short-term dollar trend largely neutral.

The crypto market has broken out of its consolidation
The cryptocurrency market has risen by almost 8% over the past 24 hours to $2.37T, reaching its highest level since early June. The initial momentum came on the back of news that the US Treasury was supporting the debt market. This relatively small but timely move signalled that the government is monitoring the situation in the debt markets, spurring demand for risk assets. The rally was then fuelled by a wave of short-covering, following weeks of extremely narrow trading.
Bitcoin reached $70K, posting a 9% rally over 8 hours during the US trading session. As the new day began, the leading cryptocurrency retreated slightly to $69.6K. On Monday, BTC consolidated above the 50-day moving average, and by Wednesday, it had already tested the 200-day MA. As expected, the market’s long-compressed spring snapped back, catching those who had been range-trading and those who had been building short positions on the rise off guard. If Bitcoin does not quickly lose its recent gains, it will be a significant sign that a bull market has begun, much like in October 2023 or March 2020.

🇺🇸 US Pre-Market: Mostly Negative 📉
Negative sentiment is prevailing in the US stock market pre-market, with the largest technology and consumer companies trading lower, suggesting that investors are shunning risk in the US.
In the Information Technology sector, NVIDIA (NVDA) is down 0.10%, Micron Technology (MU) is down 1.18%, while Microsoft (MSFT) is down 0.21%.
In the Communication Services sector, Alphabet (GOOGL) is down 0.72%.
In the Consumer Discretionary sector, Tesla (TSLA) is down 1.78%, while in the Energy sector, Exxon Mobil (XOM) is up 1.96%.
The prevalence of selloffs in the largest-cap shares is creating a risk-off environment, supporting demand for safe-haven dollar assets and contributing to moderate dollar strengthening in the short term, amid heightened interest in Treasuries and money markets.
