RBFX Support Posted April 20 Author Posted April 20 (edited) DE 40 forecast: the index has recovered all losses driven by the US-Iran conflict The uptrend in the DE 40 stock index continues and may lead to a new all-time high. The DE 40 forecast for today is positive. DE 40 forecast: key takeaways Recent data: Germany’s CPI for March increased by 2.7% year-on-year Market impact: the data creates a negative backdrop for the German equity market Fundamental analysis The increase in Germany’s annual inflation to 2.7%, in line with forecasts but significantly higher than the previous reading of 1.9%, may have a moderately negative impact on the DE 40 index. The fact that the figure matched expectations reduces the risk of a sharp market reaction, as market participants may have already partially priced in this outcome. For the DE 40 index, this creates a mixed but rather cautious backdrop. On the one hand, the fact that the forecast has not been exceeded could support the market and limit pressure on equities. On the other hand, the 2.7% reading remains above the comfort level for the European Central Bank, which may reduce expectations of a more accommodative monetary policy in the coming months.

RBFX Support Posted April 21 Author Posted April 21 (edited) USDJPY is full of strength: there are few reasons for a trend reversal The USDJPY pair moved to 158.91 on Tuesday, with the yen remaining under pressure due to uncertainty over Bank of Japan policy. Discover more in our analysis for 21 April 2026. USDJPY forecast: key takeaways The USDJPY pair is in positive territory due to the Bank of Japan’s ambiguous stance Japan remains dependent on energy imports USDJPY forecast for 21 April 2026: 159.50 Fundamental analysis The USDJPY rate is hovering near 158.91, with the Japanese yen remaining under pressure amid unclear signals from the regulator. The Bank of Japan will most likely keep the rate unchanged this month. It needs time to assess the economic impact of the Middle East conflict. At the same time, a signal to resume policy normalisation may be given as early as June. There is a possibility that the regulator will raise its inflation forecasts while lowering its growth estimates, given rising energy prices and the overall negative backdrop.

Discover more in our analysis for 22 April 2026. GBPUSD forecast: key takeaways The GBPUSD pair ended up slightly below last week’s highs due to a combination of geopolitics and domestic news Labour market data came out weak GBPUSD forecast for 22 April 2026: 1.3600 Fundamental analysis The GBPUSD rate is hovering near 1.3521, slightly below last week’s highs, with the pound sterling under pressure from domestic political instability and rising external risks. The scandal around the appointment of the ambassador to the US has intensified. Former Foreign Secretary Olly Robbins stated he was pressured to approve Peter Mandelson’s candidacy, although the Prime Minister’s Office was not directly involved in the procedure. This is adding uncertainty around Keir Starmer’s government. RoboForex Market Analysis & Forex Forecasts Attention!

RBFX Support Posted April 23 Author Posted April 23 (edited) JP 225 forecast: the index hit a new all-time high and pulled back The JP 225 stock index continues to rise, slightly surpassing its all-time high. The JP 225 forecast for today is positive. JP 225 forecast: key takeaways Recent data: Japan’s trade balance for March came in at 667 billion JPY Market impact: the effect on the Japanese stock market is neutral Fundamental analysis Japan’s trade balance data appears moderately negative for the JP 225 index, as the actual figure came in well below the forecast: 667.0 billion versus the expected 1,106.0 billion. Although the trade balance remained positive, the shortfall versus expectations may be interpreted as a sign of weaker foreign trade momentum. For the JP 225 index, the impact may be mildly negative but not necessarily sharp. The trade surplus is still in place, meaning foreign trade remains in positive territory. However, a weaker-than-expected result can cap the index’s upside and encourage profit-taking after the recent advance, particularly in large exporters.

RBFX Support Posted April 24 Author Posted April 24 (edited) US Tech forecast: the index is correcting after reaching a new all-time high The US Tech index hit a new all-time high and is highly likely to continue its upward trajectory. The US Tech forecast for next week is positive. US Tech forecast: key takeaways Recent data: US services PMI came in at 51.3 in March Market impact: the impact on the technology sector is mixed Fundamental analysis The release of a stronger-than-expected US services PMI is a moderately positive signal for the US Tech index, but the impact will be mixed. On the one hand, the rise in the services PMI to 51.3, compared to the forecast of 50.5 and the previous 49.8, indicates that the service sector has returned to expansion. For the US stock market overall, this data appears rather constructive. The service sector plays a central role in the US economy, so a move back above 50 is typically seen as a sign of stabilising business activity. RoboForex Market Analysis & Forex Forecasts Attention!

RBFX Support Posted April 27 Author Posted April 27 (edited) DE 40 forecast: the index is correcting, but the overall upward bias remains The uptrend in the DE 40 stock index may become medium-term if the correction ends within the next few trading sessions. The DE 40 forecast for today is positive. DE 40 forecast: key takeaways Recent data: Germany’s preliminary ZEW Economic Sentiment Index came in at −17.2 in April Market impact: the data creates a negative backdrop for the German stock market Fundamental analysis The drop in Germany’s ZEW Economic Sentiment Index to −17.2, below the forecast of −5.9 and the previous reading of −0.5, is a negative signal for the DE 40 index. The data suggests a significant deterioration in expectations among investors and analysts regarding the outlook for the German economy. This release could put short-term pressure on the DE 40 index. Companies that depend on domestic demand, the industrial cycle, and export orders look particularly vulnerable. RoboForex Market Analysis & Forex Forecasts Attention!

RBFX Support Posted April 28 Author Posted April 28 (edited) US 500 forecast: the index extends gains and hits new all-time highs After reaching another all-time high, the US 500 index is showing signs of a short-term correction in its uptrend. The US 500 forecast for today is positive. US 500 forecast: key takeaways Recent data: US services PMI came in at 51.3 in April Market impact: the data is positive for the stock market Fundamental analysis The US services PMI came in at 51.3, above expectations of 50.5 and the previous reading of 49.8. Since the index moved back above the 50-point threshold, this signals the services sector has returned to expansion after the prior weak reading. Investor sentiment is also being influenced by the progress of US-Iran talks, which have not yet provided clear signals that the conflict is coming to an end. For the US 500 index, this release can be viewed as moderately positive overall, as the services sector represents a large share of the US economy and is directly tied to consumer demand, employment, corporate earnings, and overall business resilience. A stronger PMI could signal that the economy retains the ability to grow despite high interest rates and consumer caution. RoboForex Market Analysis & Forex Forecasts Attention!

RBFX Support Posted April 29 Author Posted April 29 (edited) Gold (XAUUSD) does not believe in a miracle: prices are falling due to the Middle East and its consequences Gold (XAUUSD) is declining to 4,598 USD as inflation risks are exerting too much pressure. Discover more in our analysis for 29 April 2026. XAUUSD forecast: key takeaways Gold (XAUUSD) quotes are moving downwards as inflation risks are increasing significantly Global central banks will be forced either to keep rates unchanged or to raise them XAUUSD forecast for 29 April 2026: 4,580 or 4,500 Fundamental analysis Gold (XAUUSD) is holding below 4,600 USD per ounce on Wednesday after falling by almost 2% the previous day. The current levels are the lowest in a month. Pressure is linked to the lack of progress in US-Iran negotiations and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. According to Donald Trump, Iran is demanding that the naval blockade be lifted while negotiations continue. At the same time, disruptions have already reduced energy supplies from the Middle East. The closure of the strait restricts about 20% of global oil flows, which the IEA describes as the largest supply shock. This is increasing inflationary pressure.

RBFX Support Posted April 30 Author Posted April 30 (edited) EURUSD falls amid persistent inflation in the US The EURUSD rate continues to decline amid a stronger dollar and hawkish signals from the Federal Reserve. The rate currently stands at 1.1668. Discover more in our analysis for 30 April 2026. EURUSD forecast: key takeaways The EURUSD rate is declining for the third consecutive trading session The Federal Reserve kept the interest rate unchanged, but signalled a more hawkish policy course US inflation remains elevated amid rising energy prices Fundamental analysis The EURUSD rate is declining for the third consecutive trading session. Sellers are increasing pressure and attempting to consolidate below the key support level at 1.1665. A confident breakout of this level could accelerate the bearish momentum. The currency pair has reached a three-week low amid a stronger dollar. The US currency received support from the Federal Reserve’s more hawkish monetary policy stance than the market had expected. The regulator held the rate steady, in line with market forecasts, but disagreements emerged within the committee. Some officials opposed signals of a possible resumption of rate cuts, reinforcing the perception of policy as restrictive. An additional factor came from inflation dynamics in the US. Price growth remains elevated, largely because of higher energy prices, limiting the scope for policy easing. RoboForex Market Analysis & Forex Forecasts Attention!

RBFX Support Posted May 4 Author Posted May 4 (edited) DE 40 forecast: the index tested the support level The DE 40 stock index continues its upward momentum despite a pullback to the support level. The DE 40 forecast for today is positive. Brent forecast: key takeaways Recent data: Germany’s preliminary CPI came in at 0.6% in April Market impact: the data provides a positive backdrop for the German stock market Fundamental analysis Germany’s inflation data appears moderately positive for the DE 40 index, as the monthly CPI came in at 0.6% versus a forecast of 0.7% and slowed notably from the previous 1.1%. For the market, this means that price growth in April was slightly weaker than expected, suggesting pressure on interest rate expectations could ease slightly. For the DE 40, the impact is likely to be moderately positive, rather than outright bullish. Despite the slower monthly reading, annual inflation in Germany is expected to stand at 2.9% in April, according to Destatis preliminary estimates, following 2.7% in March.

Brent forecast: key takeaways Brent prices are holding in a steady uptrend While the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, the chances of higher energy prices will remain elevated Brent forecast for 5 May 2026: 112 or 113 Fundamental analysis Brent crude oil is hovering around 111.49 USD per barrel on Tuesday after jumping nearly 6% the day before, driven by a sharp escalation in the Middle East. The US and Iran exchanged strikes in the Strait of Hormuz, which increased doubts about the sustainability of the four-week ceasefire.

The currency received support from a weaker US dollar and lower oil prices amid signs of de-escalation in the Middle East. The US confirmed that the ceasefire remains in place, that offensive operations have ended, and announced a pause in efforts to remove ships from the Strait of Hormuz. This is intended to buy time for a possible resumption of negotiations with Iran. RoboForex Market Analysis & Forex Forecasts Attention!

RBFX Support Posted May 7 Author Posted May 7 (edited) US 30 forecast: the index attempts to extend gains after a correction The US 30 index continues to rise after a correction, retaining the potential to reach a new all-time high. The US 30 forecast for today is positive. US 30 forecast: key takeaways Recent data: the Federal Reserve policy rate remained at 3.75% Market impact: the data is positive for the stock market Fundamental analysis The Federal Reserve’s decision to hold the interest rate steady at 3.75% can generally be viewed by the market as a neutral-to-mildly positive factor for the US 30 index, as the outcome fully matched both the forecast and the previous reading. For investors, this means no unexpected monetary policy tightening, reducing the risk of a sharp revaluation in large US equities. This decision is crucial for the US 30, as many of the index companies operate in mature industries and depend on the overall health of consumer demand, investment, and the cost of capital.

Support came from rising expectations of a deal between the US and Iran: the market is reacting to diplomatic signals and the potential reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Brent forecast: key takeaways Weekly performance: gold (XAUUSD) gained a foothold near 4,700 USD per ounce after rebounding mid-week Support and resistance: on the daily chart, the structure shifted from bullish to corrective after the reversal Fundamentals and outlook: the baseline scenario is sideways movement Fundamental analysis Gold (XAUUSD) ended last week near 4,700 USD per ounce after a strong mid-week rally. The market was bolstered by a sharp decline in oil prices amid hopes for a deal between the US and Iran. This reduced inflation risks and pressure from expectations of restrictive central bank policy. Diplomacy remains the key driver. According to media reports, Washington sent Tehran via intermediaries a framework memorandum that could become a step towards ending the conflict and gradually reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has already confirmed that it is reviewing the proposal, with a response expected in the coming days. RoboForex Market Analysis & Forex Forecasts Attention!

Trump said that the ceasefire between the US and Iran is in a critical state after Washington rejected Tehran’s latest peace proposal.

This week, the pound pulled back from almost two-month highs as political uncertainty in the UK and the lack of progress in negotiations between the US and Iran are putting pressure on GBP. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated that he does not intend to resign. This comes despite demands from more than 70 Labour Party MPs to step down following the party’s poor performance in the local elections. RoboForex Market Analysis & Forex Forecasts Attention!

The JP 225 forecast for today is positive. JP 225 forecast: key takeaways Recent data: Japan’s services PMI came in at 51.0 in April Market impact: the effect on the Japanese stock market is moderately negative Fundamental analysis The S&P Global Japan services PMI reading of 51.0 is a moderately cautious signal for the JP 225 index. The figure remains above the 50.0 level, indicating continued expansion in the services sector, but the actual result was below the forecast of 51.2 and noticeably lower than the previous reading of 53.4. For the JP 225 index, the impact could be mixed, but with a moderately negative bias. On the one hand, the fact that the PMI remains above 50.0 suggests Japan’s services sector has not contracted, meaning the economy retains some resilience.

US Tech forecast: key takeaways Recent data: US inflation rate rose to 3.8% year-on-year in April Market impact: the effect on the technology sector is mixed Fundamental analysis The US CPI release at 3.8% year-on-year, above the forecast of 3.7% and the previous reading of 3.3%, is a negative signal for the US Tech index. Official BLS data shows headline inflation accelerating, with core inflation excluding food and energy also up to 2.8% year-on-year from 2.6% the month before. For the US Tech, such news is typically perceived as particularly sensitive, as technology stocks rely heavily on expectations for future earnings growth. When the inflation rate comes in above forecast, investors are more likely to revise their rate and bond yield expectations. RoboForex Market Analysis & Forex Forecasts Attention!

The DE 40 forecast for today is positive. DE 40 forecast: key takeaways Recent data: Germany’s preliminary ZEW Economic Sentiment Index for May came in at -10.2 Market impact: the data creates a negative backdrop for the German stock market Fundamental analysis Germany’s ZEW Economic Sentiment reading was better than expected: the actual figure came in at -10.2 versus the forecast of -19.2 and the previous value of -17.2. Even though the indicator remains in negative territory, the improvement itself may be interpreted by the market as a sign of stabilizing sentiment among investors and analysts. For the German equity market, this may act as a supportive factor, especially if investors begin to anticipate that the economy is gradually emerging from its weakest phase. An improvement in the ZEW index can increase interest in cyclical stocks, since the market often reacts in advance to shifts in expectations. RoboForex Market Analysis & Forex Forecasts Attention!
