Weekly forex forecast: EUR/USD, XAU/USD, GBP/USD, Oil and more [Video]

The weekly forex forecast highlights potential movements in major currency pairs including EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and commodities like XAU/USD (gold) and oil. Traders are likely to focus on rate differentials and risk appetite as the U.S. Federal Reserve's monetary policy decisions continue to influence the dollar's strength against the euro and pound. Gold prices may be affected by shifts in inflation expectations and geopolitical tensions, while oil markets could respond to supply chain dynamics and OPEC's production strategies. A key catalyst for the upcoming week will be the release of U.S. inflation data, which could further impact the dollar and related assets.

The US Dollar (USD) is the world's primary reserve currency and the base for most forex majors. Headlines about Federal Reserve policy, US macro data (CPI, NFP, GDP), and Treasury yield shifts typically drive USD pair direction within seconds of release.

HIGH-impact news is typically a market-moving event with multi-pip or multi-percent intraday reactions. Examples include central bank rate decisions, major CPI/NFP releases, geopolitical shocks, mega-cap earnings beats/misses, and regulatory announcements. Traders typically position-reduce or hedge ahead of scheduled HIGH-impact events, and follow the wire in real time to react to unscheduled ones (war headlines, central-bank emergency statements, surprise corporate actions). The Trading News Terminal squawk box reads every HIGH-impact headline aloud the moment it hits the wire — so active traders don't have to stare at the feed.

Active traders typically follow a three-step workflow when a market-moving headline hits the wire: (1) read the headline on the terminal or hear it on the squawk box; (2) assess whether the news is already priced in (by checking intraday price action in the seconds before) or whether it's genuinely new information; (3) act — either entering a breakout position, fading an overreaction, or tightening stops on existing trades. Trading News Terminal's Pro plan delivers wire-grade headlines within seconds of the source, with automatic audio squawk on every HIGH-impact event, so the read-assess-act cycle never waits on a refresh button.
