Kickstart the North American session with a technical look at the EURUSD, USDJPY and GBPUSD
The article is a North American session market roundup centered on EUR/USD technicals and broader dollar strength. The USD is rising as U.S. Treasury yields climb to their highest levels since early 2025, while crude oil trades back above $91 and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East remain elevated. Risk assets are weaker, with the NASDAQ down 300 points, the S&P 500 down 55, and the Dow down 32. The piece also notes upcoming catalysts: ECB rate decision, U.S. initial jobless claims, and Canada retail sales. A heavy slate of earnings is reported, with several large-cap U.S. companies beating estimates, including Lockheed Martin, RTX, Honeywell, Comcast, Thermo Fisher, Dow, Blackstone, and American Airlines, though some guidance was trimmed or lowered. Overall, the tone is dollar-bullish and risk-off, with EUR/USD likely pressured by higher yields and stronger U.S. macro/market sentiment.
