Markets moved cautiously on Tuesday as renewed optimism around US-China trade talks and stable macro data shaped sentiment across major assets.
Detail Markets Keep Steady Ahead of U.S.–China Trade Talks (06.09.2025)Markets kicked off the week on cautious footing as investors await key U.S.–China trade negotiations in London. The dollar held firm after a solid U.S. jobs report, while the euro and yen reacted to central bank commentary and revised data.
DetailThe US dollar index rose over 0.4% to above 99.1 on Friday after May’s jobs report showed 139,000 new jobs, beating expectations of 126,000. Wages also grew faster than expected, though a downward revision to April’s figures limited optimism. Despite Friday's gains, the dollar is still headed for a small weekly loss due to broader economic slowdown concerns and Fed uncertainty. The euro dropped below $1.14 after the ECB’s 25bps rate cut and downgraded inflation forecasts. President Lagarde suggested the easing cycle may be near its end, while ECB’s Stournaras said the eurozone likely achieved a “soft landing.” The British pound climbed to $1.355, nearing a three-year high, backed by strong UK data and a new £15 billion defense plan under AUKUS. The yen weakened toward 144 as traders processed weak Japanese spending figures and awaited the US jobs report. BOJ Governor Ueda reiterated a possible rate hike if economic forecasts are met.
