Current Trading Ideas for 15.08.2025
Hello. Below are several recommendations for trading on the Forex market for 15.08.2025
USDJPY
On the USDJPY pair, we moved for a long time in a fairly narrow sideways range and today collected the lows of the last few days. It is a pity that we did not reach below the 145.75 level, but a decent Pin Bar pattern formed. I think one can consider buys here, with targets just beyond the 151.30 highs. I think the 148.54 level will not provide much resistance.
Fundamental Overview
David Zervos, Chief Market Strategist at Jefferies
The decline in unemployment in Australia was reflected only in the S&P/ASX 200 index this Thursday. The other markets closed mixed ahead of the Fed conference in Jackson Hole. Meanwhile, the White House is already selecting a replacement for agency head Jerome Powell. The post may be taken by David Zervos, Chief Market Strategist at Jefferies, who advocates aggressive rate cuts.
European investors bought stocks ahead of talks between the presidents of Russia and the United States in Alaska. This factor helped overcome the negative from a deeper 1.3% decline in industrial production in the EU.
The acceleration of the producer price index above forecasts led in the United States to a reallocation of capital from the tech sector into cyclical assets. The S&P500 set a record for the third day in a row.
