Morning FX BriefFri 16 Oct 2026

Latest brief

Overnight, the day ahead

Today's brief is not out yet. This is the latest one.

The dollar is soft despite hot US inflation: Thursday's September producer prices ran 6.3% against 5.3% expected, yet the 10-year Treasury yield fell to 5.09%. Fed Chair Warsh gave no rate guidance overnight, with October hike odds near 27%, so further yield declines could keep pressure on the dollar against the euro and sterling. Trump said US strikes on Iran remain possible, with WTI at $97.59 Thursday. Watch eurozone final inflation at 09:00 UTC and US industrial production at 13:15 UTC.

Next on the calendar (UTC)

  • 09:00: Eurozone final September CPI, forecast 3.8% year on year. The ECB schedule lists 12:00, so timing differs by source.
  • 12:30: US import prices, forecast 0.9% month on month, previous 0.7%.

PICK YOUR PAIR

Areas of interest, followed live.

For each pair the desk marks the support and resistance areas that matter, measures how far price is from each, and follows every one through the same stages: distant, approaching, testing, tested, breaking, broken. Each area carries the exact close that would invalidate it, so you know when it has stopped being worth watching.

EUR/USD, live. The full board has every area on every pair, free for subscribers.
