FX Trends: Rangebound dynamics to prevail?

23 October 2025

Key takeaways

  • The USD will probably struggle to rally in the weeks ahead, with the Fed likely to extend its easing cycle, a US government shutdown, and US-China trade talks.
  • The CAD could gain by tracking the broad USD, while the EUR, GBP, and CHF hold range.
  • The JPY may strengthen, with fiscal fears overblown and upside risks around BoJ policy.
