A week packed with high-impact economic data and events, including employment data from the UK, US inflationAustralian employment, US PPI, along with the latest monetary policy decisions by the Fed and the Bank of Japan. The Fed will leave all policy levers intact, but the release of the latest summary of economic projections will likely give the market something to work with. The BoJ will also keep rates unchanged but may signal that it will allow bond yields to rise, the first step towards tightening monetary policy. USD/JPY will be an active pair in the second half of next week.
O American dollar pared all of this week’s losses on Friday following the release of the latest U.S. jobs report (NFPs). This stronger than anticipated release sent the US dollar back to 105.00, erasing all of this week’s and next week’s losses. FOMC meeting will drive action in the coming weeks. The US Dollar Index remains in a downward trend, but a move above 105.21 would break a recent series of higher lows and take the index back above the last of the three simple moving averages.

US Dollar Index Daily Chart
Gold on Friday fell $20/oz. just minutes after a Bloomberg report said China had stopped buying the precious metal. China has been a major buyer of gold in recent months and the report sparked a buyers’ strike. The precious metal fell further following the release of the US Employment Report as US Treasury yields soared. Gold currently trades around $2,310/oz. and is approaching a key support level at $2,280/oz. This level needs to be maintained to bring buyers back into the market.

The Nasdaq 100 is currently recording a new record, driven by the world’s second-largest company, Nvidia. The AI chip giant overtook Apple this week in terms of market value and is behind Microsoft. The Nasdaq remains in a long-term upward trend and short-term sell-offs could offer new opportunities. The concentration risk, however, remains high, with the ‘Magnificent Seven’ dominating the climb.
Nasdaq 100 Daily Chart
Bitcoin is finding it difficult to surpass the important $72K level but remains in a positive trend. If the May 21st high is broken and opened above, a new all-time high is likely to be reached.

The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has digitized 42 million car titles using blockchain, it was reported by Reuters, through technology company Oxhead Alpha on the Avalanche blockchain and designed to detect fraud and facilitate the securities transfer process.
“This is an incredible development for crypto,” Cuban, best known as an investor on TV’s Shark Tank and owner of the Dallas Mavericks NBA team, posted on X, joking that U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler could sue the state as part of his hostility toward cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.
“The reason this is huge for crypto is because people who hold the tokens will have an app with an Avalanche wallet,” Cuban said. “Tens of millions of Californians having and using a crypto wallet in the next five years, or however long it takes, normalizes the use of wallets and crypto.”
John Wu, president of Avalanche developer Ava Labs, told Reuters that California’s DMV is “creating a wallet that you can download on your phone.”
